My heart grieves for America. I cannot bear to think about
the direction we are headed. “Repeal your own healthcare!”, “free healthcare for all” -these are
only some signs I’ve seen since the decision made on our future of healthcare. FYI:
You don't have the right to healthcare. But, this is about more than
healthcare. This is about the
mentality of our nation. When did Americans develop an entitlement mentality? How
is this the norm? I’m sorry, I don’t care how great YOU think YOU are, YOU are
NOT entitled to anything, especially at anyone else’s expense. Nothing is
really free. Someone has to pay for it. The pride of individualism caused us to
be the nation we are today. Where is this going? Why do Americans now hate
being individually independent? Who cares about class boundaries and gaps? This
is America. YOU have the power to do with YOUR life and make anything out of it
YOU wish. Equal opportunity does not always produce equal results. If you want
equal results for everyone, join the Communist Party. Everyone will be equal.
Equally poor, that is. Is that what we want? Why are we allowing the government
to vastly expand itself under the disguise that they are helping us? They are
not helping us. They are hurting us. They are endangering us. They are subtly
taking away our liberties one by one. I understand that many of you aren’t into
politics. Trust me, I’ve heard it all.“It’s boring.” “It’s just a bunch of
lousy politicians fighting all the time.” “What do I care, it doesn’t affect
me.” Wrong. It does affect you and when it does, it will be too late to stop.
Obamacare
does affect you. The Federal Government was trying to pass it under something
called the Commerce Clause, which (I’m paraphrasing) gives Congress the power
to regulate commerce across State lines. As suspected, this was ruled
unconstitutional because Congress does not have the authority to force an
individual to buy something. This law slid through by way of the Sixteenth
Amendment. For ease, I will just write it out.
“The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes
on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the
several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration. “
Yes,
the individual mandate is a tax. (As if we are not taxed enough…) Funny, the
Obama Administration swore it wasn’t such a thing. In fact, it’s a progressive tax! Isn’t that wonderful?! The
Supreme Court decision set a precedent that expanded Congress’s taxing power.
If the Federal Government can tax an individual on healthcare, what more can
they tax the individual for? Anything they want.
There
is much manipulation behind Obamacare. It’s a “feel good” law. If you are
against it, Liberals wine and accuse you of having no compassion. They spit out
the numbers of Americans not insured when in reality they are completely false.
The numbers are manipulated. People, illegal aliens are included in the
uninsured statistics! People who CHOOSE (keyword CHOOSE) to be uninsured are
included in the seemingly random uninsured number.
Sixty
percent of Americans find this individual mandate unconstitutional. (Not to
mention it will dramatically spike the national debt and account for an
additional 500 billion dollars in taxes for, you guesses it, you.) Obama and
all his cronies and liberal counterparts do not care. They want power, and this gives it to them. With this
policy, healthcare will become so expensive that few will be able to even
afford it. Because of this, Americans will be forced to be on government
healthcare. Once on government healthcare, you will not be able to make health
decisions for yourself. Big Brother will make all your decisions. Welcome to
European style government. Ask Europeans and Canadians how they like their “social
justice”. (Fun fact; It’s shown that polls state that Canadians and Europeans
are happy with their healthcare. The catch is, those polled are healthy people.
Yes, people who haven’t had any health problems. Funny how they leave that
minor detail out. You cannot trust polls like that, because it has a
statistical motivation behind it. Statistics are very easy to manipulate.) The
Government will decide if it’s cost effective to keep granny living. The
Government will decide if you really need that hip replacement. The Government
will decide if your disabled child is too much of a burden on society.
Although
it is difficult, I have learned that there is hope in every situation if one
looks hard enough. Remember 2010 guys? Remember the Tea Partiers and pumped up
Conservatives everywhere? Remember the sweeping wins in the midterm election?
That was over the passage of Obamacare. That was over Americans getting sick
and tired over political figures and big government doing a Mexican (pun
intended) hat dance over its Constitutional boundaries. As said before me, this
verdict has awoken a sleeping giant. I pray I am not the only one who is
outraged. We need to band together. We need to elect people who will oust
Obamacare and implement common sense solutions to healthcare. (Buying across
state lines, grouping, etc.) We need to take over the Senate. We need to
maintain the House. We need to get rid of Obama. We can repeal this. We can do
it. Everything starts with the grassroots. You have much more power than you might think. You can make
a difference. You should make decisions about yourself and for your future.
Don’t let the government do it.
"Those willing to
give up liberty for security deserve neither and will lose both.” –Benjamin
Franklin
