That’s exactly what it is.

And it is “legal” because the Democrats decided to go against the will of the people and pass the monstrous bill, hoping that over the years they had packed the courts with enough liberal judges that are willing to promote democracy and collectivism over the Constitution and liberty.

Health insurance companies are not actually insurance companies. They are Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO), they were created by the federal government. If we had real health insurance, just like we have car insurance, then it would be cheap and competitive.

I don’t know if everyone in the federal government is mentally retarded or just evil. They create all of these horrible problems (they caused rising rates by creating HMOs), and then the “solution” to the problem they created is always for the federal government to take over and eliminate the private sector.

If America does not wake up, there will be no private sector left.
