That's the IRS. The IRS is going to force you and me to buy health insurance from an approved health insurance company, federally approved health insurance. Maybe you can answer the question that is posited on this graphic: Why does the Democrats' bill subsidize health insurance companies? I don't quite get that. Why is it that Democrats are so adamant that we subsidize America's health insurance companies, those companies that are already ripping us off, overcharging us, undercompensating, don't pay our claims when we submit them, make the doctors turn in 46 copies of every form, then kick it back, then kick it back again? Can you tell me why the Democrats want to subsidize America's health insurance plans by ordering every American to buy one of those plans? Because I don't get it.
