Normally I am cautious about celebrating such a thing until it is signed into law. My understanding, though, is that the worst that can happen from here is the House passes the Senate bill — which means the Obamacare mandate is dead, which means this is the most important civil rights victory in years.

If I purchase a car, I am voluntarily taking on certain civic responsibilities that require the purchase of insurance. I have no problem with that. The Obamacare mandate is something altogether different.

For no other reason other than the fact I am born, the mandate is the federal government forcing me to buy something. This is nothing less than a legalized violation of my civil rights.

quote:

But if you want to know the truth, even if you could convince me that the mandate repeal would result in 13 million losing the insurance they want, I still don’t give a drat — for four reasons.

1) No one incapable of working will lose their insurance. There is plenty of welfare out there.

2) Until the government told me I had to buy health insurance, I have managed to be insured my whole life. Even during those years when I was as poor as a working man can be. I worked two jobs. My wife worked two jobs. I suggest you do the same.

3) Everyone has access to health care.You may have to pay for it yourself. You may have to go into debt. But health care is available to everyone.

4) Thirteen million uninsured is a small price to pay to restore my freedom, my civil rights, my God-given right to handle (or not handle) my personal health care in whatever way I so choose

quote:

The federal government’s only job is to protect my rights, not to strip them in a fit of fascist do-gooderism.

So to this Obamacare repeal, I say without a hint of irony, Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last.
