Why should freedom-loving Americans be forced to have health insurance?

Liberals like to make alot of noise over the fact that 40 million Americans (45 by some estimates) have no health insurance. ...to which I always respond, "so what -and- big deal" If Americans choose to not participate in a health insurance program, who are we to judge? Is that not their right? Some people might feel that they are young and healthy enough to risk doing without such insurance, and I'm am sure that the Founding Fathers would agree they are guarenteed such liberty under the US Constitution. Some eschew modern medical techniques for religious reasons. Some people don't feel motivated enough to earn enough income to cover such a plan. Others opt for homeopathic remedys. Still others like to gamble that they will not need insurance coverage, especially in their youth. WHATEVER their reasonings, this should be respected and NOT overruled by the plotters and schemers trying to cram mandatory Socialist Medicine coverage down our collective throat.

They shouldn't. The government should run government and the individual should take responsibility for themselves. The limpy liberals want the taxes to skyrocket so the government can take care of everything, whats next government toilet paper? Why don't we have the government tell us what to do throughout our whole life, what to eat where to shop where to work, hell Castro can give us some ideas. What needs to be done is pressure on the insurance companies to make health care more affordable. Stop the malpractice suits from the filthy lawyers and the welfare rabble would keep costs down also.
