The governing center-right coalition won the most seats in the October 2015 parliamentary elections but lost its majority. Shortly thereafter, Socialist former Lisbon Mayor António Costa joined leftist parties in the parliament to topple the government. In November 2015, Costa was appointed prime minister. The anti-austerity government has slowed economic reforms, causing friction with the European Union and International Monetary Fund. Adherence to strict budgetary discipline had allowed Portugal to move beyond the worst of its economic crisis, but growth has slowed, and Portugal failed to meet the EU-mandated deficit reduction target. Unemployment is high, especially among younger Portuguese, many of whom have moved abroad for work.

>>> Yeah, I bet every US kid strives to fall to the economic and lifestyle of Portugese puppets

2) Mandate all households to obtain adequate insurance. Many states now require passengers in automobiles to wear seatbelts for their own protection. Many others require anybody driving a car to have li a bility insurance. But neither the federal government nor any state requires all households to protect themselves from the potentially catastrophic costs of a serious accident or illness. Under the Heritage plan, there would be such a requirement. This man d ate is based on two important principles. First, that health care protection is a responsibility of individuals, not businesses. Thus to the extent that anybody should be required to provide coverage to a family, the household mandate assumes that it is t h e family that carries the first responsibility. Second, it assumes that there is an implicit contract between households and society, based on the notion that health insurance is not like other forms of insurance protection. If a young man wrecks his Pors c he and has not had the foresight to obtain insurance, we may commiserate but society feels no obligation to repair his car. But health care is different. If a man is struck down by a heart attack in the street, Americans will care for him whether or not h e has insurance. If we find that he has spent his money on other things rather than insurance, we may be angry but we will not deny him services - even if that means more prudent citizens end up paying the tab. A mandate on individuals recognizes this impl i cit contract.

Are you saying that Heritage's position on health care has changed?

Would that mean that they were for Obamacare before they were against it?

You were attempting to mis-use a highly credible source. I wanted to see how you were trying to lie/manipulate Heritage to further your Communist agenda.

I didn't even need to read the article.
