Keep Your Powder Dry
and other rebellious thoughts, like this on HEALTHCARE reform.

Basic rights are identified and recognized to be "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". They are recognized by the Declaration Of Independence. Basic rights are "unalienable"; no one has to provide them. You have them naturally. The U. S. Constitution protects them. |
Some think that "life" could be interpreted to include healthcare. But healthcare has to be provided by someone. Anyone certainly has the right to do healthy things, or choose not to. But you DON'T have the right to take someone else's property for your own healthcare! |
Dialog:
Patient: "Healthcare is a right".
Doctor and nurse and staff and clinic building owner: "A right? Who is going to pay us for treating you?"
Patient: "The Government."
Doctor: "Where is the government going to get the money to pay us?"
Patient: "I don't know, taxpayers, maybe ..."
Doctor: "So you think you have the right to take money from your neighbor to pay for your healthcare?"
Fact: Healthcare is NOT a right.
Some say the new healthcare law is unconstitutional. They point out that the U. S. Constitution actually prohibits the U. S. Federal Government from running a healthcare program. The new law is mainly a TAX LAW to be administered by the IRS! It has very little in it about healthcare. Check out this source of truth about Obamacare.

The Louisiana Legislature is crafting a bill making Obamacare Illegal in that State Louisiana State Senator A.G. Crowe (R, Slidell) is introducing a bill for the 2010 legislative session in Baton Rouge that would make Obamacare illegal if it violates state laws, effectively making Obamacare null and void in the Pelican State. Senator Crowe states that his bill "provides that no law or rule shall compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer or health care provider to participate in any health care system or health insurance." |
There is nothing in the U. S. Constitution that authorizes Congress to take some peoples money and give it to other people, for any purpose; and especially not for welfare and healthcare. Those jobs are specifically taken up by a vast array of charitable organizations.
This new healthcare law is supposed to make the costs lower for everyone. Say What? That means I'll be paying for healthcare for someone who doesn't do healthy things, like not smoking. This is pure Pelosi!
There is a middle class tax bomb written into the healthcare law. Better plan ahead!
Here is a BBC news story about England's healthcare ... is this where we're headed?
Read this goofy sentence from the Healthcare law: "An insurer or employment-based health plan shall be responsible for reimbursing the program under this section for the medical expenses incurred by the program for an individual, who based on criteria established by the Secretary, the Secretary finds was encouraged by the issuer to disenroll from health benefits prior to enrolling in coverage prior to the program." It is from HR3590, the healthcare bill in Congress. What does it mean? That healthcare law has many sentences like that! [More]
James Madison wrote in Federalist Paper No. 62" It will be of little avail to the people that the laws be made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.". Voluminous? That healthcare bill is more than 2000 pages!"America's founders intended the federal government to have limited powers and for the States to have an independent, sovereign place in our system of government. The new healthcare law takes control of the American health-care system in the most sweeping and intrusive federal program ever devised. If the federal government can do this, then it can do anything, and the limits on government power that our liberty requires, will be more myth than reality." --Wall Street Journal op-ed by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Liberty University School of Law professor Kenneth Blackwell and American Civil Rights Union senior legal analyst Kenneth Klukowski.
And from another thought angle...
... Congress has passed aÊhealth care planÊwritten
by a committee whoseÊchairman says he doesn't understand it,
passedÊby a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts its members from it,
signedÊby a president that also hasn't read it, and who smokes,
withÊfundingÊadministered by a treasury chief who didn'tÊpay his taxes,
all to beÊoverseenÊby a surgeon generalÊwhoÊis obese,
and financedÊby a country that's nearly broke ...
What couldÊpossiblyÊgo wrong?
Every "government service" they have shoved down our throats, has failed. They spend our tax dollars AND THEY WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE THEY CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. So, what are YOU going to do about it?
A final thought ... why do you expect your employer to provide healthcare coverage? It's your money, it would be in your salary if the company didn't have to pay the insurance company. Think the company gets it cheaper??? not necessarily: here's why. They buy a policy that covers lots of stuff, maybe stuff you would not buy. Your choices are greatly reduced when you expect your employer to provide healthcare coverage. I'd rather be payed the differential, higher salary and get my own coverage. Are you going to argue that some employees would not get insurance. You bet! That's none of your concern! And those people will demand healthcare service from an emergency room. I have a name for them: moochers. Because you pay for their service.
