Ralph, 1) It's not "free choice" if you are forced by law to subsidize my choices; or I, yours.
2) It's not "free choice" when you are prohibited (as the pending bill does) from enrolling anew in a private insurance plan after the effective date of the bill. (Being "allowed" to keep my present plan, but not to enroll in another one unless it's the government's, isn't "free choice.") 3) I don't want the content of my medical care, nor the decisions for who gets what care, & when they get it, to be made by the same folks who brought us the Post Awful & the DMV. Or, for that matter, the V.A. (see Bill's description). Or Medicare, which I understand is not on financially sound footing, so why should the whole country be forced into anything similar? Or is the purpose yet another "bail out," that of Medicare? (If so, see #1.) Linda (not a "neo-"anything, just an old-fashioned, liberty-loving American, who wants to live by my own efforts and be responsible for my own choices, and to choose my own charities to support)
