[quote]Forcing everyone to have insurance is merely forcing the deadbeats to carry their own weight.[/quote] Not exactly, as the "deadbeats" will just be subsidized by hard working Americans.
[quote]surely the point of a democratic society is to help and support those less well off - makes me proud to be british[/quote] Actually the point of being American is free to have choices and not be forced by the government to participate in unless entitlement program. If you wish to help people out, that is fantastic, but I don't need to be forced to do it through taxes and fines especially when the economy is near the brink of disaster.
The White House has their own blog on the offical White House website (www.whitehouse.gov). This is a useful way to reach people in this age of social networking and technology. If you watch Fox News or read some of the more conservative blogs, you might have noticed the lies that are being spread about President Obama's plan for healthcare for Americans. This is very counter-productive to our society, and it is time we have health insurance for everyone, paid for by government
