Health care is not a *right*. No where in the Constitution does it say the Federal Gov’t can FORCE us to buy ANYTHING.
Individual states are finally getting it.
As I see it...”To the republic, for which it stands” means “for which it stands” UNDER THE CONSTITUTION.
Of course, the federal gov’t will tell me that they know what’s better for me. (sigh)
We have a right to purchase health care. You wouldn't allow the government to forbid you to by health care, would you? Hence, we have a right to purchase health care. We just don't have the right to make someone else pay for it.
As for the fedgov, they force us to buy social security, unemployment insurance, medicare and medicaid don't they?
