I don't understand how people can act like they don't already know this to be the truth.
Directing or requiring all Americans to be responsible for their own healthcare is not the worst thing since polio.
That's exactly what the healthcare law does-- forces people to be responsible for their own healthcare insurance, which in the long run will ultimately ease the personal healthcare costs and burdens from the government to individual citizens and private companies.
There's good and bad with healthcare reform, but to compare our reform to what the article is speaking of is not congruent.
