I just don’t get how one can equate the wartime defense of a port with physical force with the current healthcare debate.
Are you advocating a martial uprising against the democratically elected leader of our country?
What liberty are you in danger of losing? Choosing your healthcare provider? Making healthcare decisions?
I have little say in my own insurance coverage. I’m limited to whatever my policy dictates and that’s whatever my employer sets up. The insurance company takes nearly any clerical error or misunderstanding and uses it to deny coverage.
The only liberty is if I want to pay for my own insurance policy or pay out of pocket if I want to see a doctor out of my plan. Neither of which are feasible for me since times are tough.
Are you fighting against Death Panels? They already exist. Ask my two friends who last year had discussions with the hospital about what their options were for their comatose mother’s care when the benefits run out.
I fail to see how offering government run insurance will result in a b-movie dystopia. The government controls air traffic, protects our borders and national security and ensures us protection under the law.
If you really think that government is inept, ask yourself, “Did I get my stimulus check?”. I did and spent that sucker as soon as it was deposited right into my account along with my tax return.
