DBlaq responded to my post on Democrat mandated prison time for Americans who refuse to buy health insurance if ObamaCare passes.

I don’t agree with that policy either, I don’t think people should be forced to buy anything in a free country. Also, whats annoys the crap out of me when people keep saying “Not on my tax dollar”. You don’t own that tax dollar. They spend that money however they want, regardless how you feel about it, once it’s out of your check, paid or garnished. It belongs to the government. So stop saying that.
There are other options [than] mandating the insurance. For one: regulate insurance companies just like they do Georgia Power or any other monopolized company. Also, if they would just revamp the welfare system. How many of us know people on welfare get food stamps, only to sell them for 50%? Or if you are on welfare you shouldn’t be allowed to have any kids. People say that you can’t tell people what they need to do, Well I think they can when they want FREE Sh*t.
So there are a bunch of alternatives [than] to force people to buy insurance. Health care in Europe is not free. They pay more taxes over there plus they complain that their wait times are anywhere from 4 weeks – 6 months. WTF? Japan has a good healthcare system but it would never work in the US because of the type of people we are. Alot of things wouldn’t work for us because of our culture, so we can’t look at other countries.
I like what Obama stood for in his campaign, but that doesn’t mean I will agree with everything he does and I think that is a problem with us black people. We will take anything Obama says as gold because he is black. He [has] good points of views and he has bad ones. That is a bad one. Of course the lawmakers ain’t worrying about it because they already get the best healthcare there is!
