I am having a real problem with the idea that the Government will not provide me the Freedom of choice on what insurance (or any other product) I should buy. This includes the Freedom to decide I do not wish to spend my earned dollars on an insurance policy at all. Although you can make the argument that this is to the benefit of the social collective it seems that this is completely at odds with any type of personal liberty that adults should enjoy.
It's also a very slippery slope. If it is ok for the Government to control my purchasing of insurance why can't they also control any/all of my purchasing decisions? Uncle Sam can tell me which light bulbs (CFL only), cookies, fruits (organic?), and what temperature I am allowed to keep my thermostat at. etc.
Believing in Freedom also means allowing people the Freedom to make choices that might be different than the leaders of a controlling government might wish you would make. Stand up for Freedom and tell them they do not have the Right to force you to purchase anything you do not want and you acknowledge the responsibility to shoulder the consequences of your own actions.
