you say that people have lost their freedom because the affordable care act requires them to participate by paying money to cover other people's insurance.

Sure you can. The mandate doesn't go into effect until 1/1/2014. The main sticking point is whether or not to give individuals the same consideration as corporations were given by the President by fiat...
