David Harsanyi exposes the hypocrisy of many members of Congress when it comes to the health care bill.
I have no doubt that the progressive wing of Congress — folks who generally support a single-payer plan that would eradicate choice and freedom in health care — believe government failing to give you something is indistinguishable from government taking something away from you.
Yet, while no one will be stripped of their right to have an abortion under this legislation, the vast majority of citizens will have to deal with a cluster of new mandates and more than 100 new government bureaucracies to enforce them.
Citizens will be ordered to buy insurance or face jail time. Americans will answer to a "commissioner of health choices" and pay extra taxes for having the gall to buy top-of-the- line insurance plans. They will no longer have the right to choose health savings accounts or high-deductible plans or, in most cases, flexible spending accounts.
