Mandate means FORCED to purchase a product.

Mandate means FORCED to purchase a product. This is a slippery slope folks. Once the government opens this door, they will be able to MANDATE/FORCE us to purchase whatever product they think is in our best interest. Thus, taking away our FREE WILL to decide for ourselves.

The current Health Care Reform bill states that if we do not report "acceptable" health care insurance to the IRS, we will be FINED $2,250 or 2% of your income. If we can't pay the FINE/PENALTY within 30 days, we will be sent to PRISON! Yes, I said the IRS is attached to this current Health Care Reform bill. The IRS will be like the Health Care Insurance coverage GESTAPO. This is no fricken JOKE!

Hello, if we didn't have the money to pay for the health insurance coverage in the first place, what makes them think we're going to be able to pay the FINE?!?! You think the prison system is overpopulated NOW? What's worse, the average citizen who has NEVER committed a CRIME will now be locked up with the criminal element. This is SO UNBELIEVABLY WRONG!

I'm not fearmongering either like the democrats would like for you to believe. I'm merely sharing the FACTS with you that the democratic leadership has SELECTIVELY and CONVENIENTLY chosen to leave out of their speeches!!! I dare you to ask them by phone, email or in person if this is true.
