The only authority I see that these DC idiots have is to ensure open market practices....which has yet to occur.
If people accept the idea that they can meddle with this...then why not complain about transmission-job costs, and have them meddle with that as well....or how about barber-shop haircuts, and ensure they can’t be more than $12.99.
Too many people don’t understand the feds constitutional limits and conversely their constitutionally protected freedoms. They think the “bill of rights” gives them their rights.
They need to go back and read the Declaration of Independence which is the presumption of the Constitutional source of our freedoms (hint - we are born with them because they come from God not man - they do NOT come from the first ten amendments - the first ten amendments are there to remind the feds of SOME of our basic rights and freedoms) and then they need to read the ninth and tenth amendments that confirm these constitutional presumptions.
Amen. The constitution reserves all of this to the states and the PEOPLE! They shouldn’t even be discussing it at the federal level other than to REPEAL it immediately and REMOVE any and all federal roadblocks to free markets. If the GOP passes any kind of national healthcare plan and it’s not shot down immediately by the SCOTUS as unconstitutional, then we’ll be saddled with cradle to grave socialist healthcare as an “entitlement” forever (or until we go bust).
