America's Health-Care Debate

The article "A Formula for US Health-Care Services," March 26, states that: "Everyone would be required to have health insurance, and to pay their appropriate share of the cost."

I neither want nor need health insurance. If the government wants me to buy health insurance, it's going to have to tax me for the money. And I have no doubt it will do just that.

Whatever happened to individual liberty and the right of free-thinking citizens to choose how to live their lives without government interference? David Sims, Cincinnati
