Only an idiot would vote against this bill! It further reinforces my view that "no one is entitled to an opinion but everyone is entitled to an informed opinion"....

This is a mandatory and I don't think you should be forced to do any thing! Like the plan but I don't like "YOU MUST DO" or else.

Problems: Mandates you get the coverage or be penalized, uses private insurance companies which benefit from the plan because it mandates you be covered (obviously, they will make quite a bit of money off this with all the new enrollees).. Also, the federal government indirectly pays for your coverage through your tax deductions (guess we will bankrupt government so insurance companies can bank off us instead).. Also, so the way I read it the insurance companies will be the holder of our medical records (no thanks).. Also, mandating coverage isn't that violating the 14th amendment of the constitution (liberty - freedom of choice)
