Hell in a Handbasket

[pellaz]

... I will not be told I have to have heath insurance or pay a penalty for choosing not to have it ...

you are required to have auto insurance, if you drive. i guess your not expected to off yourself if you dont have health care than again fall down almost dead in the street and you expect who to clean up the mess.
serious:
there are a lot of situations that could happen, for a lot of people, call it health insurance or obama-care but something has to pay the bill.

better you than me.
