It’s like every American is writing a blank check and giving it to Congress, so they can fill in the primium amount.
Some would say it is more like Congress is forging a check drawn on your account. After all, you have no say in the matter.
When did we give Congress the authority to make buying decisions for us? The new law is going to require every working adult to enter into a contract, to purchase a good, whether they can afford it or not.
The House health insurance reform bill ignores this actuarial reality. It does not allow older Americans to be charged for the share of health services they use. To keep the system from going broke before it begins, the House measure forces younger people to pick up the tab for their elders. The actuarial shenanigans of the House bill would not be so menacing if there were a way for young people to opt out of the insanity. The House has seen to it that scofflaws will pay a hefty fine or even face jail time if they fail to sign up.
