Well, I have health care, nothing much will change for me unless i have to pay some more taxes.And i dont think you will have NO Constitutional rights left. But a person also has a right to live and not giving people access to heath care doent give that either. I know the agruments, everyone could buy it, but the truth is, no they cant. For some it may be they can buy some insurance for there kids and not themselves, so they dont get proper treatment.
Once the Bill of Rights is ignored, like the 10th amendment, all bets are off. It is a slippery slope that never ends in more freedom.
Explain how I have been able to buy my own for most of my adult life, starting way back in 1974. For most of our married life we have paid for part or all of our health insurance.
We are not special. I am the son of a miner. I was not raised in privilege. We did it by working hard, sometimes multiple jobs, to insure that we had what we needed.
When careers went bad, when the area that we lived in went bad, we moved to insure that we had enough income to meet our needs. Health care and other things that are IMPORTANT came BEFORE luxury items, like cable, fancy cars, boats etc.
That is what
responsible adults do. Shoot, we even moved to England for 5 years, forgoing friends, family and everything we loved to insure that our kids and the family had what we needed.
Now, if what it seems is going to happen, we will for the very first time NOT be able to afford health care.
We will have the choice of going into debt to pay or it or become criminals.
We can only hope and pray that the courts uphold the Constitution and strike this pig of a bill down. Then
maybe we can set about truly fixing the problem.
This bill is NOT going to lower costs, it is going to raise them, and raise them high. It will put many, like us, out of the market.
It has already curtailed freedom. Nothing, I repeat, nothing is ever worth losing freedoms for.
All this bill proves is that I wasted 20 years defending our Constitution. It is amazing that, for what maybe the first time in history, that a a country gave up freedom and asked to have their lives controlled by a government. Everyone who died for those freedoms are rolling over in their graves today.
