that the best you can do? "goes with life liberty and the pursuit of happiness?" ok......I NEED a 47" LED TV.....my self esteem is real low without it. ok...I need a house...and you should provide it for me, so I can pursue happiness. ok, I need a gas voucher cause WHEW, this obama gas be way too high....I will expect that soon too. ok, I have eight kids by five babymamas...they need clothes, food, milk, housing, LED tv too, all need cell phones... pony up fat boy. ******************************************************************************************** fact is, the average lifespan NOW of an American citizen is 78.5 years.** My Granddad who worked HARD all his life lived to be 91. My Dad is 87, he retired from working HARD all his life at 84, only because of his eyesight. People just want something GIVEN to them and the guvmit is all too happy to control their lives for votes. I can walk into any hospital in the country and get care...and that was before obamascare.

>> It was mainly herbal, which people made themselves. It almost certainly would have been included if they had the kind of medical care we have now. Sort of goes with idea of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"... At the time the Constitution was drafted, the primary form of medical care was bleeding, which was the preferred treatment, even when the cause of the problem was a lack of blood. John Adams had weekly bleeding during the time and I'm quite sure never suggested once that the government pay for it. His wife and kids were "inoculated" using Smallpox which made them sick for several months, and I've never heard a word about it. His young daughter suffered from breast cancer and had her breast removed without anesthesia, and it never occurred to the family they should seek payment by the government. Your statement is total bullshit.
