Ever hear of the Bill of Rights? I know, kind of obscure as a reference.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
Step in it much?
In reality there is!! The constitution enumerates what the federal government can do. Therefore, if it is not stated as something it can do then that means it can't.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Notice it says the powers NOT delegated to the United States by the Constitution..... That means that if the constitution doesn't say they can then they can't!
Here is a simple example: If your mom told you to go to the store and buy milk and bread and you brought milk, bread, and ice cream then you didn't do what was asked of you! Your mom does not have to say "Buy milk and bread and don't buy ice cream, cake, pie, steak, chicken, chips, soup, candy bars, etc..... She need to only tell you what you can buy and that ultimately excludes everything else. Lets make a simple math equation out of it just like you learned in school when learning to do word problems. Buy milk + buy bread = did what mom said. Therefore buy milk + buy bread + buy ice cream doesn't = did what mom said. Its just like 1+2=3 but 1+2+4 doesn't = 3 or 1+2+5 doesn't = 3
Its that simple!

QuoteGood catch...I typed "on" instead of "only", therefore I intended it to read, "There is no right to happiness only the freedom to pursue it!"
So, as you have so kindly pointed out that is exactly what it says, not that we have the right to be happy but only to pursue happyness!
***There is no abbolition against it.

No, there are 5 and they are just the more obvious types. There are also many other reasons for legitimately not being able to aford HC ins.
Provide it when, where?
And that's the point I've been making, this is a simple scenario of one man's case of not being bale to afford HC and the mess he's now n. If you chose to blame him 100%, if you chose to pick it apart, or whatever you want, go ahead. It is an article of 5 'types' of cases where a person could finf themselves out of HC. It's not a peer-reviewed journal for Ph.D's to pick apart. I'm sure tehre are plenty of those out there, like the one Harvard and UNLV worked together on to determine that > 50% of all bankruptcies were as a result of medical bills. Those are designed to pick apart, not a simple USA today articel detailing 5 typical scenarios of people w/o HC.
Would you like me to dig up some peer-reviewed journals on the issue of people w/o HC? Would you really read them? Of course not, so since the best we can do is to get a quick read, take it for what's it's worth.
Then describe for us the kind of lowlife deplorable scurge that would go w/o HC ins, in your opinion.
Yea, again, McCain's 'whiners' comment comes to mind. Keep minimizing the plight of teh poor in this country, keep watching your representatives fall. Perhaps, this could be the falling of the Republican Party, the problem is that there would have to be an alternate party that made more sense to oppose the Dems and there isn't one.
