Ask not … healthcare version

So the new Healthcare Reform Act says every American will be required to buy health insurance by 2014 (wait — don’t yawn and fall asleep — this gets interesting!), and the Supreme Court of the United States will decide next year if that’s constitutional.

This made me think of the famous line Ted Sorenson wrote for JFK’s inaugural speeech, the one about “ask not what your country can do for you.” Here’s my variation:

Ask not that your country require you to buy health insurance

Ask that your country provide healthcare to everyone
