Where do I start talking about the travesty that's called 'health care reform' before the United States Senate?
To start, I'll quote the 10th ammendment. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The way this bill is written violates not just the 10th amendment, but several others as well, including the 4th, 13th, 14th, and 16th.
Health care is NOT a right, and it is not designated as such anywhere in the Constitution. It's nice to have when you need it, but health insurance is not the same as health care. There is no shortage of health care in the United States. And if I could actually read the finished billl (which at this time no one except the congressional leadership has seen) I'm sure it would still fail the above accusations.
This bill is another cry for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to asssert it's rights under the 10th ammendment, and that time is NOW.
