Health Care a Right in the Constitution

Phansty.... "Where in the constitution does it say that Americans don't have the right to healthcare?" It's by ommision. You misunderstand the purpose and form of the constitution, you have it completely backwards. "Any government in which you are not allowed to desigate how much many they can take out of your check every pay period should provide healthcare to their citizens to insure that their citizens stay healthy enough to continue to work to pay into the system" Not sure what you mean by that, could you clarify or phrase it a little differently please? "Noone made that much noise when our children were sent to war in Iraq and Afghanistan." Your kidding....right? Were you living in a secluded cave for years while violent antiwar protests were going on over the Iraq war? when people (american citizens even)were buring effigies og Bush and the American flag over it? "I'm assuming that the same people who oppose government intervention in unfair insurance policies and equal access to healthcare have no healthcare access issues--typically" You assume too much m'lday...I have plenty of health care issues and I am virulently opposed to this bill. No one is oposed to healthcare refor...most of us are just opposed to this particular bill. "By the way, we are already controlled by the government... what kind of freedom is there when people don't have the abiltity to agree to disagree?" You know...your right. We should just lay down and surrender our wills to the all mighty benevolent government...I don't know what I was thinking. We're already lost, so lets just give up now and all become serfs. All is well citizen, your government lioves you and knows whats best for you...submit for the greater good.

"Xfactor No... If it is by omission, then that means it is left up to the interpreter...in that case YOU have it completely backwards." So, please then, since you seem to believe you have a good command of the constitution, cite me the language in it that spells out the government's reponsability to provide healthcare access and the part that allows the federal government to mandate that I have coverage. "Clarification: Any government in which you are not allowed to designate how much money they can take out of your check for taxes every pay period should provide healthcare to their citizens to insure that their citiziens stay healthy enought to continue to work to pay into the system." Isn't that exactly what you said the last time? Let me clarify what I menat by clarify...how on earth did you make that leap in logic? "Okay, how many violent antiwar demonstrations did you participate in and did you right any congressman?" I don't do the violent protest thing, but I did write my congressman in addition to asking my state reps to get a bill enacted that would prevent New Hampshire's national guard from participating in it. "Bush dictated more government control than any other president since the McCarthy era...you don't have to surrender your wills to the almighty benevolent goverment...when Bush was in office he ignored your wills. " Yep, he did. I guess it's a good thing he isn't in office anymore isn't it? But I have to ask...since you have so many issues with Bush (and rightly so) why on earth did you vote to put a well spoken version of another Bush in office?

I reitterate my question Miss, what is the language in the constitution that describes the government's reponsability to provide healthcare access to the american people and the part that permits the federal government to mandate that I have health care coverage? If you can show me this in irrefutable terms, I will concede.
