Perspective: ObamaCare - does it cover stupidity? (OneNewsNow.com): "Americans overwhelmingly like their healthcare and their health insurance. While Americans reject ObamaCare, the President and Congress insist on driving it through.
Most Americans, up to 85 percent, already have health insurance and are satisfied with it. Lacking health insurance is different from lacking health care -- which, by law, emergency rooms must supply. Millions go without health insurance by choice and not due to lack of resources. Deduct from the number without insurance those who have access to it via entitlement programs, those temporarily without it while between jobs, those here illegally and those who could go on their parents' insurance plans by paying affordable amounts -- and you're down to 10 million to 15 million people without health insurance for longer than a year. This represents five percent of Americans.
To address this, the President and the Democrats are this close to a complete government takeover of healthcare. And a takeover it is. Assuming some kind of plan reaches the President's desk, it will -- at minimum -- force all Americans to purchase health insurance or pay fines or worse. It will force nearly all employers to provide health insurance or pay fines. It will tell health insurers that they must accept applicants with pre-existing illnesses and restrict their ability to 'discriminate' based on factors like sex and age."
