Obama Wants You To Prove To The Government That You Have Health Care, But Not That You’re A Citizen

According to Rob Port at sayanythingblog.com:

A good point, made by a Freeper.

Obama called Arizona’s new illegal immigration legislation “misguided” and suggested that it may violate civil rights laws. Yet, per the health care bill Obama signed into law, we all will have to report to the government via our tax returns what health coverage we have.

So rounding up illegal immigrants, who are here in contradiction with our laws, is anathema to Obama and not the appropriate function of government. But forcing citizens to report the status of their health care coverage is appropriate, and a fitting role for government.

I think someone has their priorities backward. How about the federal government allow us to worry about our health insurance coverage while they focus on doing their jobs with regard to illegal immigration?
