What we have hear is in my opinion, an epic moment in American history and a benchmark care pitting individual liberty against a government attack on such. Whether you and I can be forced against our will to purchase health insurance. How the justices of the court view freedom and liberty from a overreaching central government is at stake. We have drones overhead snooping on us, crotch grabbing TSA agents harassing us as we travel and now this to boot. Do you believe the court will side with liberty or the government? And why? http://sg.news.yahoo.com/supreme-court-hear-health-care-case-term-150759881.html WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear arguments next March over President Barack Obama's health care overhaul — a case that could shake the political landscape just as voters are about to decide if Obama deserves another term. The decision to hear arguments in the spring allows plenty of time for a decision in late June, just over four months before Election Day. This sets up an election-year showdown over the White House's main domestic policy achievement. The justices announced they will hear more than five hours of arguments, an extraordinarily long session, from lawyers on the constitutionality of a provision at the heart of the law and other related questions about the act. The central provision in question is the requirement that individuals buy health insurance starting in 2014 or pay a penalty. |

I cannot understand the position of some seemingly intelligent posters. They think that if someone cannot afford health insurance that the hospitals will simply kick them out and let them die. Thats an extremely uneducated position. Universal healthcare will actually cost less since everyone will be covered. Even the person who cannot afford it. Too many folks are going without because they are choosing living on the streets or keeping a roof over their heads. Its amazing that the republican party, the "party" of religion, could be so callous and uncaring towards their fellow man |

I do not think that hospitals will kink out emergency situations for lack of ability to pay. One the other hand, I have read some pretty good research indicating that many folks that cannot afford insurance do forgo good preventative medial care, thereby making their eventual care even more expensive. |

I also remember that covering all with health insurance would/will save 4,000 plus American lives per year. |

Come on Joe, I don't have to drive a car, get married or own a vehicle that needs inspected. I can choose not to. The healthcare bill does not give me a choice to not carry health insurance. It's an invasion of my privacy and right to live absent unnecessary encroachment on my freedom to choose. Women have a right to choose how they use their body, why can't I. It's my body, my choice whether I want to have access to modern healthcare, a witch doctor in the wilds, unconventional alternative medicine not covered under the bill or homeopathic self treatment. It's nobodies business but my own. |
