Mandated Healthcare

Raise your hand if you think that you know better than your neighbor/ fellow man how they should live their life. If your hand is elevated, ball it up and hit yourself with it. No Man, I say again, No Man has the power to tell another how to live their life. But the majority of Congress, the President, and the majority of the Supreme Court think that they have the right to tell us how to live our lives. In the Declaration of Independence our Unalienable rights to "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." Notice how we have the God-given, cannot-be taken-away, right to life. This means that another man has no power to end you life without cause. Guess what, it goes further. It also means that we have the right to live our life the way we see fit. No man nor governmental body can squander that right. If I want to shorten my life by eating fatty foods and driving without a seat belt, I CAN! The right to my life belongs to me, and I can live it and end it as I see fit.

Now some government officials are telling me I have to have health insurance to keep me healthy. Its one thing to actually want to keep me healthy, but that is not really why they want me and others in my age group to have health insurance. They want to force me to have health insurance, so that I can pay into it with little chance of needing to draw out money. Since my age group can pay so much into the pool without many drawing out of it, it will help keep the cost of government-subsidized healthcare plans low.

So not only are they taking money from me to prop up the longest-running ponzi scheme social security, they may also take money from me by forcing me to have healthcare. In essence, I'm not taking care of my elderly family members (which is how things worked back in the good old days), but I'm paying to take care of every old Dick and Jane. Thank you US Government.

Needless to say, the government's actions in this set of laws has greatly encroached upon my individual right to life.

That makes me angry!
