In case you missed it over the weekend, here's a letter that appeared in Saturday's Arizona Republic:
'Mandate not a tax on most people'
Reference the Supreme Court decision on the individual mandate portion of the Affordable Care Act.
It is not a tax if you have insurance, because there is no penalty.
Given the hue and cry that has immediately arisen from the Republicans, you would think the sky was falling, which leads me to conclude that not one Republican has health insurance (thus all are fearful of a penalty) or that the world is full of Chicken Littles.
I, for one, am thankful and proud that we have a president and some congressional leaders (far too few, however) brave enough to ensure that all citizens in this rich country of ours can access reasonable and affordable health care.
