2009 Health Care Reform Bill, Pros & Cons – What About the Constitution?

There is daily coverage of the 2009 Health Care Reform Bill pros and cons. The coverage is incessant and well it should be. This health care plan will change our lives. However, there is a fundamental question that is ignored, what about the Constitution?

Very recently, Speaker of the House Pelosi was asked by CNS News, “… where does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?” Her response was, “Are you serious? Are you serious?” CNS News: “Yes, yes I am.”

Later, Pelosi’s press secretary went on record as saying, “That is not a serious question.” My question: “Asking for Constitutional clarification is not a serious question?”

I have another question just how many of our Senators and Representatives do you think have actually read the Health Reform Act? Yes, I think you are right. Not very many.

Regardless, it seems to me that it is not within Congress’ or President Obama’s authority to dictate to any citizen whether an individual must carry health insurance. How about you? How do you feel about it?

It is like automobile seat belt laws. I know that there is evidence to support the use of seat belts. Still, in my naive way of thinking, I cannot accept being fined for not wearing my seatbelt. There is no evidence that my not wearing a seatbelt will hurt any one else.

So then, this law, the seatbelt law, is a law for my own good. A law passed by those that know better for my own good. Whatever happened to my unalienable rights? I realize that those unalienable rights are not part of the Constitution but they are words on which this nation was founded (The Declaration of Independence).

Some would argue that enacting a Public Health Policy requiring health insurance under penalty of prosecution falls under the Congress’ Constitutional prerogative or right and duty “to promote the general welfare”. I agree.Promoting the general welfare is Congress’ obligation. However, it is not their prerogative, duty or right to dictate the general welfare. Promoting and dictating are two distinct words with completely different meanings.

Any law that would require a citizen to insure himself for his own protection under penalty of prosecution is not promoting. That is dictating. It is enforcement, not a suggestion.

Do not confuse the likes of auto liability insurance, which is an enforced law in most of the country, with a required health insurance mandate.

Liability insurance protects you from the consequences of someone else’s actions. If someone causes harm or damage to you or your property, you have recourse. Liability insurance protects you from someone else’s negligence not your own.

Requiring liability insurance is promoting the general welfare. That mandate protects you from others. Health insurance protects you for you. It does not protect you from someone else.

Requiring me or anyone else to have medical insurance under penalty of prosecution is just plain wrong.

Maybe we should also require mandatory life insurance, so that I can pay those exorbitant funeral costs. What do you think?

There are many events and issues that deserve honest non-partisan review. Tony Perez is the editor of just such a review.

Originally uploaded by aravoth www.youtube.com Ron Paul Quotes: Truth is treason in the empire of lies. Cliches about supporting the troops are designed to distract from failed policies, policies promoted by powerful special interests that benefit from war, anything to steer the discussion away from the real reasons the war in Iraq will not end anytime soon. The most important element of a free society, where individual rights are held in the highest esteem, is the rejection of the initiation of violence. We need to worry about our borders here at home, not worry about the borders around the world, and the border between Syria and Iraq – that doesn’t have anything to do with our national security, we have to deal with our own national security. Our military right now is in shambles because we’ve been stretched too thin. One of these days we’re gonna have to wake up, and I’m afraid we won’t wake up until we go bankrupt, and we’re approaching that time already. The obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people. The theory of the IRS is rather repugnant to me because the assumption is made that I, the government, owns 100% of your income and I permit you to keep 5%, 10% or 20%. You’re vulnerable, you’ve sold out. The government can take 80% if they want, which they did at one time. Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by

Michael Savage on Civilian National Security Force of Barack Hussein Obama and Upcoming Fears – Aired on January 20, 2009


Michael Savage on Civilian National Security Force of Barack Hussein Obama and Upcoming Fears – Aired on January 20, 2009

The State Of America, 2009

    In spite of all that has transpired in this country, it is still great. Great, in that we have come to the aid of about every other country across the globe. Now, in this day, China comes to our aid with financial backing. But, at what price? Sure, they are helping us with thier money. But isn’t that like going to a loan shark? If you’re unable to pay the loan, you get your leg or arm broken. Or maybe two legs and two arms? Or, perhaps they’ll just take some land in payment? Sure, why not! We have plenty of land, don’t we? Do we really want to sell or give up our land to foreign interests? But, then again, we’ve already sold some of America to other foreigners, over the past years, haven’t we?

    The media keeps reporting that we are in a “recession”. A recession is defined as, “1. a going back or backward;receding;withdrawal. 4. in economics, a temporary falling off of business activity during a period, when such activity has been generally increasing, as during that after a depression.”   Also;  ” a ceding or giving back, as to a fomer owner.”  Now, either that means we have had a DEPRESSION, or, we are giving back the country to a former owner! Who was the former owner? Spain once owned a good part of the southwest , at one time. France owned another part of it. And England owned, or at least tried to own a part of this country.

     To the world bankers and industrialists, America is just another piece of property to be sold. They don’t care that thousands of people may be out of work. They will simply replace us with cheap, foreign labor! This may be an unpopular statement to make, especially to all the politicians who have had foreign servants working in their big, expensive mansions in Washington, D.C. and Maryland for many years. I know, I’ve seen some of them. And I’ve heard the things that go on within those “ivory towers”! 

     All that aside, we still have a great country; but we need to clean house, before we lose all that this country has stood for in the past. There are forces at work that want to bring this nation down to the third world level. Down to the poverty, down to the despair, the hopelessness and depavity that exists in many counties, even now. We should not , cannot let that happen. How do we stop it? Phone calls to your senator, or congressman MIGHT have some results,but it may not. Money certainly won’t. It will just go to some politicians pocket. One thing might just get some results;  PRAYER!  Yes, I said prayer!  Forget seperation of church and state!  Don’t seperate yourself from our creator! He is the only one that can change things, for the better. That’s not religion, it’s the plain, simple and straight TRUTH. Try praying to the one who established this country, so that we could ALL be free; free to worship the one true God. Okay, call it “religious garbage”, if you want  But those who believe will know what I’m saying is true.

     The state of this country is not good right now. Everyone knows it. It won’t get any better, like I said at first. But, if the entire nation fails to come together and get on their knees, and ask forgiveness for all their wrongdoings,many will go into captivity, within our own borders. Many will be slain, tortured, tormented. This sounds crazy, insane and every other thing you can come up with, but, nontheless, true. Many will live to see it with their own eyes and wish that they didn’t. I know what I sound like; please keep this in mind for the future days, it WILL happen unless this nation REPENTS.  Lord Jesus bless all who believe, and take it to heart!

 

Started out writing poetry, mostly. I have a book on poetry, being published, even now. I would like to write some articles, short stories maybe. I love motorcycling, kayaking, camping, music, etc.
