Edwards Backs Mandatory Preventive Care
``It requires that everybody be covered. It requires that everybody get preventive care,'' he told a crowd sitting in lawn chairs in front of the Cedar County Courthouse. ``If you are going to be in the system, you can't choose not to go to the doctor for 20 years. You have to go in and be checked and make sure that you are OK.''
This dude is S C A R Y. Talk about a power grap and the potential for abusing power. Is this even constitutional? The lawyers who read this forum should be able to shed some light. I assume that there's a penalty for not showing up for your check ups. What would it be? Jail? Pay a fine??? Booted out of the system? WTF????
Edwards said his mandatory health care plan would cover preventive, chronic and long-term health care. The plan would include mental health care as well as dental and vision coverage for all Americans.
Mandatory mental health check ups???? Probably not but maybe but if not the door is certainly open.
This is an idea from a Democrat that has a great deal of potential to do a lot of harm IMO. Unbelievable really.

Are you trying to imply that there is something wrong with mandatory mental health treatment? Mentally unstable people are a drain on society (not to mention the fact that most of them use illegal drugs) and have to be dealt with for the benefit of the productive, loyal citizens. Besides, you don't have anything to worry about unless you're unhinged yourself, so why don't you chill out? You don't have trouble managing your anger do you?

Of course, anybody who thinks there's something wrong with the governments policies is mentally ill, and needs "treatment" to cure their delusional thinking. That couldn't happen, could it? Hint: See Soviet Union.
