Reform should not require struggling workers to buy insurance

We did a press conference yesterday on health care. The focus was single payer health care system vs.the Democratic/Obama bills. C-SPAN taped it and played it at least four times yesterday.

The thrust of our press conference yesterday was we need to start from scratch and defeat this bill. I am particularly disturbed by the government forcing working people who are struggling in this economy to buy insurance (or any product). I don’t think that has ever been done before in U.S. history and doubt the Congress has the power to do so.

In fact, I’m considering putting together a lawsuit challenging that provision if it is passed.

You can see a video of the event on C-SPAN: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/290273-1.

"....I have never made it a consideration whether the subject was popular or unpopular, but whether it was right or wrong; for that which is right will become popular, and that which is wrong, though by mistake it may obtain the cry or fashion of the day, will soon lose the power of delusion, and sink into disesteem." Thomas Paine, Common Sense, on "Financing the War", March 5, 1782
