You Have a "Right" to Health Care, But You Do Not Have the "Right" to Not Have It

This is the new wisdom. During the 2008 campaign, the Campaigner-in-Chief Bara Bama promoted his ideal of health care as a "right". Now, however, the current Democrap proposals indicate that if someone chooses not to be covered, they will be fined, no exceptions, as much as $3500. (Edit: as of 9/29/09 the proposed fine is $1900, but carries with it a federal misdemeanor charge and the potential for jail time. That's right, if you don't buy health insurance, you can GO TO JAIL.)

That's absurd. If it is indeed a "right" then someone has a right to not have it.

So clearly, in Bama's mind, health care is not a right but a government mandate, like buckling your seat belt. Do you need any more proof that democrats are trying to control every aspect of our lives?
