If there are 50 million uninsured people in our country, deduct the 20 million illegal aliens, leaving 30 million uninsured American citizens. Of these, 5 million can afford health insurance but prefer not to buy it, leaving 25 million uninsured. Those 25 million, out of 310 million, are about 8 percent of our American population.

Now, why should we consent or be forced to give complete control over our minds and bodies to an incompetent, wasteful bureaucracy for 8 percent at a cost of $2 trillion?
