"The California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee launched a new statewide media campaign featuring Sen. Barack Obama commenting on proposals to force individuals to purchase insurance. Individual mandate schemes lie at the heart of the healthcare deal crafted by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez—and endorsed by most California insurance corporations."

"The media campaign of radio spots and YouTube ads will run in major media markets across California, coinciding with Senate hearings and a vote on the ABX1.1 bill. CNA/NNOC opposes the bill which would require all Californians to purchase health insurance or face substantial penalties. As the ad puts it, "Don't let the politicians force you to buy insurance you can't afford and which won't help you when you're sick."

10. Clearly, nobody is going to force you to do anything.

You'll get sick & then you'll die. But you won't have to have paid a cent.

Welcome to Obamaland. A place where progressives become anarchists.

11. oh no
terra terra terra. If clinton doesn't insure me I'll die. I love how you hill fans have to resort to that. being a progressive does not mean having to paying private corporations for something that should be a right.

13. taxes go to the government
the health care industry is not the government

stop carrying water and think for yourself

using a government agency to take away your money to give it to a private corporation. That is just wrong
