It’s obviously a “good thing” for everyone to have medical care insurance. Who would argue that’s not good to help pay your bills if you get sick?
We want to meet needs and not burden others.
But it’s wrong for President Barack Obama to insist that you should be fined — possibly averaging about $1,000! — if you don’t buy medical insurance, starting in 2014 and fully phased in by 2016.
Such fines might hit 4 million people — most of them middle class — if ObamaCare is adopted, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated.
Many things may be “good” for us. But not all of them should be dictated by government — with government fining us if we don’t obey.
