how bad are some of those leading our country ?

By making it mandatory to have health care (or pay an annual fine for NO COVERAGE) they are going to drive the premium up, and at the same time, make the health care we receive lose quality. ER rooms are going to be filled making the waits longer. Doctors offices are going to be making appointments at dates twice as far in the future as they are now, and will most likely charge more for their services, since "it is the companies that pay".

The long and short of it is we all pay in the end. I just want to pay for myself and my family ("family" could be employees, kids, spouses, etc.). I believe this was already said, but look at what happened to automotive insurance when it was made mandatory. The same thing will happen here. And what is constitutional about making someone pay $750 because they never go to the doctor and don't feel the need to have health care? It is not the governments place to do this, whether you think it is a good idea or not.
