Neal, it is absurd and unjust for the Government to impose penalties for not enrolling in Government Programs and block a citizen's access to Health Insurance. Due to penalties I cannot afford Medicare Part B and by law private companies cannot insure me. This is Elder Abuse by the Federal Government and threatens my independence, well-being and financial security. There are little understood harmful aspects in Government Programs which the people, and Lawmakers themselves, are unaware. This is one of them and there should not be any penalties imposed in new Legislation under consideration. Government Programs strip people of their freedom. Americans need to take care of themselves and not be "sheeple" as the Russian newspaper Pravda refers to us. I think it is unconstitutional for Government to penalize citizens for not enrolling in Government Programs. Our Government is supposed to be of the people by the people and for the people not for the Government.
