I found this on another board. The poster didn't name the congressman but it was a Texas congressman.
After months of objections by Americans across our great country, a slim majority in Congress ignored the will of the people and voted to pass H.R. 3962 by a vote of 220-215.
"I VOTED NO!! This legislation will cost taxpayers over a trillion dollars, raise taxes, create 111 new federal bureaucracies and lead to a government takeover of our healthcare system. I stood with you today and voted AGAINST another government takeover.
Rest assured tonight, this is far from over. As a former judge, I have serious questions regarding the constitutionality of this legislation. The bill forces every American to buy health insurance or be penalized with a tax. If you don’t want to or refuse to buy insurance, then you will be in violation of the IRS code and will be subject to tax evasion charges punishable up to $250,000 and up to five years in prison.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it allow for the government to force us to buy anything. If you thought you didn’t like the IRS before, wait until they become the new healthcare police.
