Poll Watch: 31 Per Cent Say Healthy Americans Should be Required to Buy Health Insurance
But, 56 per cent disagree and say that if someone doesn’t want to buy insurance the shouldn’t have to.
The Question:
Some people, generally younger adults and those in good health, decide on their own not to buy health insurance. Should they be required to buy health insurance?
- Yes: 31%
- No: 56%
- Not Sure: 14%
So, if individuals are NOT required to purchase health insurance, will American business be required to cover everyone?
A recent survey of small business owners found that 60% believe that a government mandate to provide health care coverage for employees would have a negative impact on their business. There are 22 million businesses in the nation with five or fewer employees. Seventy-four percent (74%) of these companies do not provide health insurance for employees.
Or will the government pick up the tab?
Americans are evenly divided on another controversial aspect of health reform—the creation of a government program to compete with private insurance companies.
As Obamacare is debated over the summer keep your eye on who is paying AND for how much?

I have looked and looked but cannot find which Article of the Constitution authorizes the federal government to mandate healthcare. Does anyone know? Please help me! I voted for George Bush (multiple times) and I am retarded!

I believe Americans should be required to have their own Health insurance. This will mean that Americans are health conscious because they prioritize themselves to save up for their health. If not a health insurance, then there should be a better plan, like free health check-up. This health insurance should also cover dental health, not just physical health, but also dental health. It is an important part of our body and first indicator if an individual is healthy or not.
