Friday, August 13. 2010Group files lawsuit against healthcare bill
Healthcare reform has been viewed as a necessity by many people. Proponents for the reform say that health insurance shouldn't be considered a right, but something that is available to everyone. However, not everyone thinks that requiring health insurance is such a good idea.
The Arizona-based Goldwater Institute isn't so fond of healthcare reform. In fact, the watchdog organization is filing a lawsuit in an attempt to "protect health care freedom and preserve constitutional checks and balances." Under healthcare reform, most Americans will be required to obtain health insurance. Small business owner and lead plaintiff Nick Coons says that he shouldn't have to get health insurance if he doesn't want to. "The government is making me spend money on something that I don't want," says Coons. "Is a stranger who works for the government in some other part of the country really going to know what I need? I am the best qualified to make these decisions for myself." People who fail to obtain health insurance by 2014 won't get away without a price. Those who neglect to get coverage stand to be fined by the Internal Revenue Service.
