"As Congress deliberates, voters are getting increasingly anxious over another aspect of the President's plan--a mandate that threatens to throw Americans in jail who don't have a government-defined health care plan. (Of course, the irony is that everyone in prison gets free health care!) The Joint Committee on Taxation confirmed this last week when its Chief of Staff, Tom Barthold, sent Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) a hand-written note, which said, "Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 fine." Sen. Ensign was quick to argue that the Constitution doesn't give the government the power to mandate the purchase of insurance. Still, this President has given every indication that he will not be content until he not only regulates health care--but the lives of the patients too."

The Individual Mandate IS Government Takeover
With or without the so-called "public option", the Individual Mandate means ObamaCare is a government takeover of healthcare. That's because the individual mandate gives government control over the healthcare system by giving the government the authority to FORCE you to comply!
In fact, if you don't pay the Individual Mandate TAX, you'll face up to a $25,000 fine or even ONE YEAR IN JAIL!
There is no escaping the government-run ObamaCare system. This is the definition of a government takeover of healthcare!

Here's what CATO Institute says about the Individual Mandate:
"Simply making health insurance compulsory gives government as much control over healthcare as would a compulsory government program."So... We've been lied to... The truth has been distorted... And the real dangers of ObamaCare (the pubic option and the individual mandate) are alive and well.
