I’m not in favor of nationalized health care insurance but it appears the Democrats are going to pass it. In that case I’d like to see two codicils attached to this possibly unconstitutional legislation that declare:
-
Everyone is required to participate in this program, NO EXEMPTIONS.
-
And the “NO EXEMPTIONS” include all federal employees and elected officials, including members of the House of Representatives, the United States Senate, the executive, and the judiciary. Additionally these people are specifically forbidden to participate in any auxiliary health care plan or to purchase health care out of pocket.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
