Another burning question: where does the Federal government get the power to force every American to purchase health insurance? It’s one thing to give tax breaks to those who do, quite another to penalize those who don’t." I don't believe that the federal government *does* have the power by the Constitution to force us to purchase health insurance. I think this is a horrible idea! Next I'll be told I am required to purchase a certain type of vehicle, etc. Where does it stop? James said: "Most Americans do not recognize the ramifications of these things. How do we get the point across? I run in some really conservative circles and most of them are not yet at this level." I hear you James! It is very frustrating trying to *get the word out*. Very. Seems some people really have their heads in the sand, and not just liberals alone! I talk to everyone I can about these things. I use facts and I try to teach them about what's going on. It's very slow going sometimes. Blas said: “Well said. Another burning question: where does the Federal government get the power to force every American to purchase health insurance?
