Should Americans be required to buy health insurance?

It all makes perfect sense now. England wanted to institute UHC, so the Pilgrims threw a hissy fit and left.
Why didn't my history teachers tell me this? I feel cheated. Public education is a failure, too, it seems.
It's so much of a fantasy that apparently every other first world nation can manage to do it, except us. Hell, even some third world nations can do it, but I guess it's aiming way too high for the United States, or more accurately, the people who consider winning some arbitrary ideological battle more important than doing what's right or what's best for the country.
Maybe the Moon landing was a hoax, because at the rate we're going now I find it hard to believe we ever accomplished anything difficult with ideological anchors like you and your ilk dragging us down.
I love this catch-all phrase people use to describe anything they don't personally like.
I love the way people are able to invalidate just about anything they care to say by using it too
I however take it as gospel that you cannot refrain from talking about me personally instead of discussing the issue whether while giving a warning or unable to dispute a post.
The government wasn't forcing something on them? My bad.
See? Please don't talk to me unless it's in an official capacity. Even then I'd rather someone else.
Thank you.
Please, you're the Washington Generals of online debate. Show me one debate I've ever gotten into with you where I didn't soundly defeat your argument. I'll wait.
Quit hiding behind a mask of civility when you're anything but civil and I'll stop.
Thank you.

What an unamerican thing for you to say! Debate over!
But being from the UK isn't that okay?

Wow, can any statement be more wishy-washy?
Uhuuuh, the government was forcing "something" on them.
Of course Health Care is not a Right, any more than the Armed Forces or an interstate Highway System is. The issue has nothing to do with Rights; it has to do with the standard of living, and the best way to ensure that the people have access to health care.
I wonder how many of the Republicans congress critters opposed to the health care reforms have completely surrendered their government provided cover and rely solely on what they pay for themselves,.
The preamble is unamerican!
Some apparently think so; or else irrelevant.
They claim the Preamble is not binding and doesn't actually dictate any kind of policy. What does that make it, a garnish or something?
It just defines the purpose of our existence. That can be inconvenient when it comes to Politics.
Only when it don't agree with some people's agenda.

I don't understand the confusion. The Pilgrims were fleeing religious persecution and our gov't is pushing the Progressive's religious persecution with UHC. I didn't think I had to connect all the dots but there you go.
The good news is we have a few years to turn things around and undo this terrible health care plan since it has to be rushed through but wont help anyone for 5 or so years.
If you're in Mass don't forget to vote Scott Brown on Jan 19th. Mass needs to finally send an adult to the US Senate instead of teenagers with our credit cards.
