As of Obamacare passing, I will now be forced by gun and threat of jail to purchase a PRODUCT that I do not want.
I am now forced to purchase a product because I am alive and breathe air. BTW, this is a product I cannot afford.

My messge to America is “Stop listening to the media because there is nothing altruistic about collectivism and losing freedom.”

After voting against H.R. 3962 – Affordable Health Care for America Act, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today made the following statement:

“We have been led to believe that we must make our health care choices only within the current structure of a predatory, for-profit insurance system which makes money not providing health care. We cannot fault the insurance companies for being what they are. But we can fault legislation in which the government incentivizes the perpetuation, indeed the strengthening, of the for-profit health insurance industry…

…This has now been confirmed by Tom Barthold, the Chief of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation. And it’s not merely about jail time; it’s also about the $25,000 fine that could be levied by the IRS against individuals who refuse to buy health insurance. That this is even being considered just boggles the mind.

As Paul Craig Roberts brilliantly pointed out in a recent essay, this is like trying to solve the homeless problem by forcing homeless people to buy a home, then throwing them in prison when they can’t afford to.

The brutal facts of the matter are inescapable: The American people are too broke to buy their own health insurance, and the American government is too broke to buy it for them…no nation in the world can afford to foot the bill for a country full of sick people.

Why don’t I need health insurance? Because I don’t visit doctors and I don’t get sick. If you don’t get sick, you don’t need health insurance.

Of course, silly doctors ask, “Well what if you suddenly get sick out of the blue?”

What, you mean through voodoo or something? Sickness without cause? Do doctors really believe in spontaneous sickness that magically appears without reason?

All sickness has a cause. That much should be obvious. And if you eliminate the causes of disease, you won’t experience disease.

President Barack Obama wants to label me a criminal. He wants to fine me twenty-five thousand dollars and throw me in prison for one year for my refusal to pay money into a corrupt, broken sick care system.

Note that the people who are destroying their own health — and putting huge cost burdens on the health care system — are not considered criminals at all. People can destroy their own bodies through junk foods, toxic chemicals and substance abuse…but as long as they pay up, they’re considered “good Americans” who are participating in the health care system. Meanwhile, people like me who take care of our own health, who place no burden whatsoever on the health care system, and who refuse to pay mandatory premiums into a corrupt health insurance industry are going to be threatened with arrest and imprisonment…

…Accidentally, but relentlessly, America has built a health-care system with incentives that inexorably generate terrible and perverse results. Incentives that emphasize health care over any other aspect of health and well-being. That emphasize treatment over prevention. That disguise true costs. That favor complexity, and discourage transparent competition based on price or quality. That result in a generational pyramid scheme rather than sustainable financing. And that—most important—remove consumers from our irreplaceable role as the ultimate ensurer of value…

Fundamentally, the “comprehensive” reform being contemplated merely cements in place the current system—insurance-based, employment-centered, administratively complex. It addresses the underlying causes of our health-care crisis only obliquely, if at all; indeed, by extending the current system to more people, it will likely increase the ultimate cost of true reform.
