Whenever a divorced dad or non-custodial parent goes to jail for falling behind in child support payments, there's always a law-and-order type within reach of a journalist to say how happy he or she is that the "deadbeat" has finally gone to the slammer -- and never mind whether or not the supposed "deadbeat" has just lost a job, become sick or disabled, etc.
Well, now thanks to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Obama's healthcare reform drive, all Americans will get a chance to become government-declared "deadbeats" and get to go to jail too.
According to a press release from House Ways and Means Committee member John Camp (R-MI), the bill recently put before Congress by Pelosi (and likely to be rubber-stamped soon) will force Americans to buy $15,000 health care policies or face $250,000 in fines and up to 5 years imprisonment.
