On April 13, 2010, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas introduced legislation to repeal the individual mandate component of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
H.R. 4995 aims "[t]o restore the American people's freedom to choose the health insurance that best meets their individual needs by repealing the mandate that all Americans obtain government-approved health insurance."
As it stands, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has a clause that stipulates that every man, woman, and child must either purchase a government approved health insurance plan or pay a fine. For the first time in our nation's history the purchase of a good is required by virtue of citizenship.
Contact your congressman today and urge them to become a cosponsor of this critical piece of legislation.
