No. Blessedly, no.
I am free.

U have
muscular power to do that; yes.
With all respect, please note that your having procreated
has had
no effect upon extant Constitutional limits on the power of government.

Yes. That is true, in regard to certain specifically designated grants of authority.
Beyond those grants of authority, government has
no more lawful power to interfere
with any citizen than does Pat Robertson's Church or the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club.

all reasonable and irrefutable facts say it's cheaper for instance to keep people healthy by making insurance affordable and getting SOME contribution than it is to pick up the WHOLE tab for their healthcare, welfare, housing, ebt, childcare, and eventually final expenses because they were unable to take care of a small health problem before it became a permanently debilitating one then I say that like a parent, Obama or any sitting President of any political party who might have happened to do it has done the right thing.
I am not entirely clear concerning whether u just advocated that,
in those circumstances, he overthrow the Constitution and take over America,
ruling like a king, as did Saddam, Stalin, Hitler, et al.
Perhaps u will clarify what u had in mind about that.
Once the restraints of the Constitution are broken,
then the Frankenstein monster is loose from his slab in the lab.
He will not come back freely to be restrained. Presumably, the next step
wud be to suspend any more elections indefinitely.
Bear, I suggest that u remember that the jurisdiction
of government and personal freedom
are INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL.

Then, for the sake of argument,
I will concede your point, tho I freely admit that I dont know
what I m talking about, insofar as those numbers are concerned.
I deem it a moot point.
I am entrenching on the line that
GOVERNMENT WAS NEVER GRANTED
AUTHORITY TO EXTORT ANYONE INTO BUYING INSURANCE AGAINST HIS WILL.
In other words, the jurisdictional foundation for that coercion
is a
hoax and obama is a snake oil salesman. "Good for what ails you."

THAT is the critical and dispositive criterion.
I will fight to the death for
THAT argument.
