If someone can tell me the difference between the Government mandating a Hep B vaccine vs. a Guardasil vaccine, please inform me. I don’t see the difference. They are both transmitted by sexual contact. Right now, many states adminster the Hep B vaccine before a newborn leaves the hospital and children are required to have it before going to school.
Many see little difference, and object to that one, too.
At least it is not currently developed off of aborted fetal cell lines, as is Hep - A, along with a host of others vaccines.
Government at what ever level, local, state, or federal that passes any legislation that requires a financial transaction by we the people is a tax/mandate. Setting a speed limit is a mandate on two fronts. Taxpayers fund the function of law enforcement that monitors the streets, roads, and highways. There is a fine/penalty IF the speed limit is exceeded IF 'caught'. Now in 'hard' times 'speed' traps can be an outside incentive to earn extra money above what is allocated in a given year. Somebody has to cover that cost of hike in gasoline prices etc.
Mandates/taxes were/are to originate from the legislative body, not the executive or judicial branch. That was Governor Perry's BIG mistake. He took matters into his own hands and ordered a tax increase to the customers of private health insurance.
There seems to be a misconception that insurance companies went to their personal cash stash and willingly wrote the checks to the government or the drug company to pay for these vaccines. That is NOT how private sector businesses work. Any increased mandated cost to their operation automatically is pass off to the consumers... that purchase the service/product. Most usually the increase cost is averaged out to all the customer base, NOT just specifically to the customers who will get the vaccine.
This practice has become so rampant that 'we the people' see 'red' when prices go up but ignore who is usually first in line that mandated the increase. SOCIAL SECURITY/MEDICARE/MEDICAID taxes are collected directly by government whereas other taxes like the GAS tax is collected by the private sector business, or like I keep mentioning the algore tax that never went through Congress is collected for government by telephone companies.
What is striking to me is all this and that about TEA PARTY, but completely ignoring what cause that first dumping of government TEA. IT was taxation/mandates without representation.
I am all for taking the 'fraud' out of the social security system... but that same system is the model used to tax, tax, tax, and tax US into being into generational DEBT. That is enslavement. NOW is our 'we the people's' opportunity to say to the ruling class enough is enough, else this nation is NOT going to continue to exist as we have known it.
So while the 'feeling' is about prevention of cancer, the reality is that government is US and we are BROKE.
