Do you think the government should force health insurance?

The health care reform bill is going to force every legal citizen to purchase health insurance, regardless of whether or not you want it. Is the US government suppose to be telling us what to do in this matter? Don't we still have rights and isn't one of them the right to chose health insurance? What other rights is the government going to take away from us after this passes? Where is the outrage? Why aren't we, the people, doing more to protect our rights? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31782553/ns/…
--------------------
Amendment 9: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. I think this gives me the right to not have health care if I don't want it. Also, Griswold v. Connecticut established that the 4th amendment has an implied right to privacy. Based on this precedent, the government is not allowed to invade my privacy and force me to acquire health care. Article 1 / Section 8 / Clause 3 [Congress shall have the power] To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes This gives congress the power to regulate interstate trade. I hate to break this to all you socialists out there, but health care is not interstate trade unless you travel outside your state to get health care.
