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.
