The Insurance Mandate and Stopped Clocks

The reactionaries have it right this time, for all the wrong reasons (basically, because Obama adopted it).

First off, the health care disaster in the U.S. is now being blamed on broke uninsured people who, after they go bankrupt, 'pass the costs along to all of us' - as Justice Ginsberg indicated today. What an awful thought process the liberals are having to contort themselves into to support this 90's era Heritage Foundation plan.

Second, the government has no business forcing me to buy anything from a for-profit insurance company. I don't have to have a car, the example of car insurance is a false equivalency.
