Part of the requirements in the new health care bill passed by congress earlier this year is the requirement that every American have health care insurance. You must either be covered through your employer, buy an individual plan (from companies such as BCBSNC, Aetna or Cigna), or get your health care from the government (which includes Medicaid and Medicare).

Some, including, The Goldwater Institute who filed suit against the health care bill, believe that this is unconstitutional. Arizona House Speaker Kirk Adams states why this is an issue:

Health care decisions belong to individual Americans and health care policy decisions belong to states.

The right to make individual choices is still a basis of the Constitution. That seems to be changing.
