Vladimir Lenin: "Medicine is the keystone of the arch of socialism".

Not to mention 200,000 new Federal EE’s and 80 new agencys between you and your Doc. Probably ACORN and out of work Union thugs.

If you have read "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", by Stephen R. Covey, then you know that he advocates envisioning the end product or "first creation" as he calls it, when you set out to make goals and plans.

We have seen the Democrat er, Socialist end product or "first creation" in HR 3200. This is it! This is what they want Amerikan Socialized Medicine to be. Any backing off of the "first creation" of HR 3200 would be an attempt to pass an incremental version that is still headed toward HR 3200.

For this reason, we need to demand that there is NO involvement of government in our health care! This includes any RINO compromise bill! Find a Tea Party, and let your voice be heard! We could turn this country around 180 degrees in six years by VOTING the bums out!

People are so caught up in specific provisions within HR3200 they are not seeing the forest for the trees. The bill on its face is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not expressly list regulating health care as a power granted to Congress by the Constitution. This key point is what people need to focusing on and address with their Congress critters.

Amen. Here's where interpretations may come into play...

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

The idea of "general Welfare" could be used by the statist as the answer to your point. Thoughts?

[Man50D]

The idea of "general Welfare" could be used by the statist as the answer to your point. Thoughts?

If that is their line of thinking than it can be interpreted to include regulation of any and all aspects of people's lives and therefore would essentially destroy our Democratic Republic and replace it with socialism. Doing so would effectively negate and consequently violate the Constitution.
