FreedomWorks launched a campaign Thursday to rebrand the health care law — and the requirement that most Americans obtain insurance or face a penalty — as a military-style draft. And it’s asking resisters to burn their “Obamacare draft cards.”
Never mind the fact that there are no such thing as Obamacare cards.
“It’s not against the law to ignore the mandate or to buy coverage that doesn’t fully conform to the law’s complicated and intrusive rules,” said FreedomWorks’ vice president of public policy, Dean Clancy. “The FreedomWorks ‘Burn Your Obamacare Card’ campaign aims to resist the draft in good conscience, without risking jail time or significant fines.”
The conservative group plans to train people to “beat the mandate” and resist the health law’s requirements.
