Unless you're on Welfare or a volunteer for Barack Obama's presidential campaign, this ought to scare the bejeebers out of you:

You would like that wouldn't you (you being a closeted homosexual and all)?
EDIT: Anyway, before you get too far along in your attempts to hi-jack this thread, why don't you stick with discussing the topic, which is: How the Democrats scheme to implement policy changes through regulation.

How can the Democrats implement policy changes without large spending increases? The answer is regulation. The business sector is going to be increasingly told what to sell and how to sell it. Particularly in health care and energy, firms are going to be accountable to bureaucrats, not to customers. Products and services will be designed in Washington, not by competition.
Regulations and mandates are an alternative to budgetary spending. For example, if politicians do not want to spend money on recruiting a volunteer army, they can institute a draft. Similarly if politicians do not have the resources on budget to pay for universal health insurance, they can pass a law making the purchase of health insurance mandatory. If such a law is effective, then the uninsured will be "drafted" into the army of the insured.
Hillary has already verified this is part of her plan, and Edwards implied as much . People will be forced to buy health insurance whether they want it or not. Yearly exams will be required. I guess if you a 20 something just starting out in the working world and don't want to pay for health insurance, too darn bad, Hillary will make you do it. Or Obama, their plans for the country are the same.
