Delegates Say They Want to Send a Strong Message to White House
RICHMOND, Va. - Virginia's General Assembly is the first in the nation to approve legislation that bucks any attempt by President Barack Obama and Congress to implement the national health care overhaul in states like Virginia...
I really would hate to see them pass any of this HCR junk into law (although many pieces of it have been slipped into other bills) but I’m glad they have taken it right up to the precipice. The Dems have outed themselves as far-left, corrupt as can be and as thugs who don’t care what the people want. For a silver lining in a very dark cloud that’s not bad.

ObamaCare Imposes $2.5 Trillion In New Taxes
ALERT: 25 percent of Americans earning $200,000 a year would see their taxes rise under ObamaCare. An analysis by former CBO Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin reveals that Obama has lied again by pushing massive tax increases on every American, breaking his campaign promise not to raise taxes. The latest CBO report details Obama’s 10 year tax scheme - Punish Americans with new taxes for the first four years with no healthcare benefits and cuts in Medicare to Seniors.
TELL ALL 261 Democrat/Independent Representatives, Blue Dog Democrats AND President Obama To KILL THIS BILL and CUT HealthCare COSTS FIRST.
The Facts Pelosi Does NOT Want You To Know:
* ObamaCare puts 7 percent of Americans on a government subsidy to help pay for mandatory health insurance.
* ObamaCare raises taxes on 25 percent of those earning under $200,000 a year.

Lawmakers in an additional four states—Montana, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Utah—have publicly announced their intentions to file the legislation. A citizen-led initiative has also been announced in Colorado.
Damn, I think I hit that list of states dead on!
First, rights don't derive from the Constitution. Second, I didn't say anywhere that the gubmint should mandate/delegate (sic) anything related to healthcare.
I said I believe people have a right to purchase health care. I can't think of any basis for prohibiting someone from purchasing health care.
Do we not have a right to buy food? Shelter? I would think our natural right to life and liberty, which predates the Constitution and transcends government, includes the right to purchase food, shelter, clothing, health care, and many other things as well.
We don't have a right to force others to pay for those things for us. But we have a right to buy them.
You really need to learn what a ‘right’ is.
I’m well aware of what a right is. You don’t think you have the natural right to purchase health care for yourself?
You are adding emotives to the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A huge ideological leap, and very similar to the leftist who cried in 2008 they had a ‘right’ to cheap gas.
