From Each According To His Ability, To Each According To His Need

Wouldn't it be great if every person in our society contributed to it to the best of their ability? And wouldn't it be wonderful if they only consumed from the rest of society in proportion to their own need?

This is what the healthcare bill has set out to do... Newt Gingrich says this about it: "People must be forced to buy or simply be given health insurance so they don’t free-ride on society." 

It makes sense, doesn't it? It sounds good, doesn't it? Do you support the above? If you do, you support Communist ideals as embodied by Karl Marx. 

It was Karl Marx who penned the term, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

The healthcare bill is a communist ideal. The Constitution expressly forbids Congress from enacting laws that require citizens to purchase anything, and for good reason. If you want healthcare, pay for it. If you want to take chances with your own life and health, so be it. It's your body, for better or worse.
