Now our REPRESENTATIVES want to make it much better:
Senate bill fines people refusing health coverage
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR – 19 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans who refuse to buy affordable medical coverage could be hit with fines of more than $1,000 under a health care overhaul bill unveiled Thursday by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama's top domestic priority.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines will raise around $36 billion over 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal legislation, families would pay higher penalties than individuals.

So we have unchecked spending and borrowing, cap and trade likely to be passed and now this. Nice way to turn the economy around!
