Health Care

From the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

No such rights are guaranteed by the Constitution. Amendment V states that: No person shall be…deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; but nothing constitutional addresses the quality or duration of life left to itself.

If a long, happy, healthy life were constitutionally prescribed, governmentally sanctioned healthcare would be only the first intrusion upon the lives of the American People; next, food would be guaranteed at no cost to the recipient, followed by whatever sounded good after that.

Although: the proposed healthcare provision, as it turns out, has nothing much to do with free healthcare; instead, it reads as the ratification of a federally imposed mandatory subscription to discounted insurance. Choosing to live without health insurance should be as simple as choosing to walk without automotive insurance or choosing to rent without homeowners’ insurance; requiring every person in America to acquire insurance is unconstitutional beyond precedent.

As president, Cthulhu will flatly ignore the insult of PelosiCare, expecting the Congress to repair its egregious mistake forthwith.
