It's kinda tough to maintain your "right" to life, liberty and happiness if you have NO access to healthcare. Of course, like Bush said, "everybody can get healthcare if they go to an emergency room". the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness means that the government can't take those away without due process. Please read the constitution. It's clear about limiting government powers and defining the rights that the government must protect, not about being a nanny state. People can get healthcare now by going to an emergency room. The only problem with that is the TAXPAYERS have to PAY for the healthcare of the people that don't have insurance. I don't LIKE paying for the healthcare of the 47 million people that don't have insurance. It jacks up the cost of my own insurance. Sounds like it is time to start shipping a bunch of illegal aliens back to their own country. When they show up for free healthcare at the ER, give them their treatment and then pack them up onto a bus....or, start billing the country from which the illegal alien originated. And if those countries refuse to pay, throw some trade sanctions at them. I ALSO don't like having to pay for the LIFETIME healthcare of these Senators and Congressmen and other government employees. Those congress people aren't including themselves in the package. They get special treatment. Remember when someone asked Obama that question and his response was "This isn't about me-- I have health insurance," We're paying for the healthcare of EVERYBODY anyway so I think we need to figure out how to do it as cheaply and efficiently as possible. We have plenty of evidence that having the government do anything is the way to NOT have it done cheaply and efficiently. Quite the opposite. Fix tort law and you've just cut huge costs out of healthcare. Get the federal government to do its job where it is actually supposed to protect interstate commerce instead of hindering it (getting insurance across state lines) and you bring competition into the system and drive prices down. It's the government meddling in the healthcare system that messed it up so badly, adding more government meddling will mess it up more, not fix it.
