Quite inadvertently the United States Senate has discovered the answer to all of society’s ills. Don’t have health insurance? Go buy some. Hungry? Purchase food. Need warm clothing? Go to Wal-Mart. No shelter? Rent or buy a house. No access to meaningful work? Get a job. Undereducated? Get admitted to a college. Depressed? Move to a warmer sunnier climate. Health insurance compliance? The United States Senate has covered that base too–Failure to comply will result in cash penalties. If there’s a discouraging element it’s that it took the Senate all this time to come to an answer that was obvious all along. Who hasn’t heard “pull yourself up with your own bootstraps!”. What’s been lacking has been an incentive which the Senate answers with failure to comply penalties. Where, pray tell, do we get in line to thank the Senate?
