Obama administration confirms: Jail time for those who don't buy health insurance if Obamacare passes

This isn't new, but it needs to be made explicit. And the Obama administration made it explicit this week: if Obamacare passes, and you don't buy health insurance, you could be imprisoned for as long as a year.

President Obama compared this provision in his speech to Congress with the requirement states have that one have auto insurance if one drives an automobile. This is, of course, a faulty comparison. One can avoid having to get auto insurance and still remain within the bounds of the law by not driving.

Under the Obama plan, the only way to avoid buying health insurance- whether one can afford it or not- would be by not living.
