Government Sponsored/Controlled Healthcare This is quite simply not covered in the constitution as a power given to the federal government. State run healthcare will be more inefficient than free market healthcare and can only have two outcomes 1. More expensive for the same quality healthcare 2. Lesser quality for the same or greater cost. The government adds no value to the equation so any other outcome is impossible. if you want to provide healthcare for poor people, knock yourself out, sign over your paycheck and leave mine alone!!!

ok, here's my 2 cents on abortion. my opinion differs from yours only slightly. first, i think hardly anyone is truly 'pro' abortion. what they are 'pro' is the right to do the deed. i don't think abortion should be made legal. but, neither should it be made illegal (i'm sure you see the subtle difference). it should never get to the point of legality in the first place, because in doing so it takes away our sovereignty. personal sovereignty should never be broached by any government. i doubt if many would have the gall to personally tell a woman that she can't abort. so instead they enlist a surrogate government that they hide behind, while having it do their dirty work. the gutlessness of it belies its impropriety. the deed is best left to those involved. and although we may grimace in judgment, we have no right to interfere.
