“In short, you recommend that the doctors, nurses and medical technicians step back from the broken bodies and sick babies and do nothing.”

I don’t recommend it. That’s up to them. I would not dictate what they do. I don’t want to dictate. And I don’t want the federal behemoth to dictate, either.

They can refuse to treat them or they can treat them pro bono.

And generous Americans can contribute to charity hospitals.

And people can realize that if they want health coverage they should save for it, buy insurance, or take a chance they may not always be healthy and will not receive medical treatment if they haven’t planned for it.

If there are to be socialist healthcare programs, then it should be done at the state level, like RomneyCare. I would not want it but if the good citizens of Mass. decide they want socialized medicine and their state constitution doesn’t prohibit it, then by all means let them embrace it and any other big government program their hearts’ desire.

I prefer to live in a state that doesn’t take away health care freedom. Abiding by the constitution and leaving it to the states, both of us can win. muawiyah can move to a state with socialized medicine; I can reside in a state with more freedom. That’s the beauty of the constitution and why conservatives embrace a return to constitutional rule.

Hey, nobody around here is a commie ~ probably not even you. On the other hand folks who advocate taking actions that will serve only to put more killer-docs in the hospitals are wasting air.

That's simply not a position that's going to draw a crowd, and if you want to get political power you have to win elections.

"Abiding by the constitution and leaving it to the states,"

That's what the simple statist can't seem to understand. We are a Federal Republic by Constitution and there are enormous amounts of disinformation, ignorance...and in deference to those who would suffer any tyranny to help their fellow man..."do-gooders".

Samuel L. Clemens tried to warn us about the do-gooders, but we didn't listen.
