Pelosi: The Health Care Bill Is “Very Fair” In Criminalizing People Who Don’t Buy Health Insurance
Sure. Everyone who doesn’t buy a government-approved health insurance plan through the government health care exchange bureaucracy this bill sets up will be fined and/or go to jail.
That’s fair, right?
KOMO News reporter Shomari Stone: Do you think it’s fair to send people to jail who don’t buy health insurance?
Pelosi: …The legislation is very fair in this respect.
For what it’s worth, the health care bill passed in the House includes fines of up to $250,000 and penalties up to 5 years in jail for people who, again, don’t participate in the government health care exchange.
And regardless of what Speaker Pelosi says, there’s nothing fair about that.
