I am in full agreement that the issue needs to be properly addressed.  But the key word is proper.

The disease care system that Congress is threatening to impose on Americans, HR 3200, will not solve the health problem. Even if  HR3200 had the potential to improve health, Washington cannot be trusted with this very personal and private aspect of life.

Washington has a long history of consistent refusal to pass legislation that would allow the private sector the freedoms that it needs to develop and promote real health solutions.  In short, it is the fault of the past and present leaders that we are in this mess today. They are the people who should not be given any control over our health.

However, that is the not major reason why Americans should demand Congress to stop wasting their time on HR 3200.  Health care is a State issue and does not fall under the Constitutional jurisdiction of the Federal Government.

The Tenth Amendment prohibits the Federal Government from exercising any powers that are not specifically granted to them by the Constitution. Most of these powers are listed in Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution.  So far, no one has been able to show me anything in Article One or anywhere else in the Constitution that grants the Federal Government the ability to mess with our health.

All of the shouting and rioting in the world will not make federally supplied health care a “right” or a Constitutional possibility. Of course, those who want Federal intervention in health care can and should lobby for a Constitutional Amendment. Until that happens, we should not disobey the Supreme Law of the Land.

The proper place for the health care argument is the State legislatures.

If this issue came to NJ, we would have to determine where the money would come from, how we would guarantee the protection of the personal property rights of those who do not want to participate, what kind of support there would be for preventative measures, how we would protect the privacy of those who want to keep it, and how freedoms will be protected to select health protocols that citizens believe to be effective but government does not want to permit.

There is a history of politicians creating laws that define the nature of health and the components that go into it. These government workers should not be given the ability to determine what methods Citizens need and want to pursue to become healthy.

There are many citizens who prefer to choose their own health development and care techniques. Many times, their choice is different than the options that are sanctioned by the Government. In the area of health, those who want to take advantage of reported successes in natural therapies, vitamin therapies and disease prevention should have the freedom to choose those options.

In the area of health insurance, everyone should have the option to choose  any type of health insurance that they desire, or none. No one should be required to support a disease based government-sanctioned insurance system against their will.

In short, confiscating money from Citizens who need it to support thier own health mangement techniques is nothing but armed robbery, invasion of privacy, and tyranny. .
