The Choice of an Apple

The Choice of an Apple
Deciding for yourself is something the Obama administration does not trust Americans to do. The healthcare plan proposed by the Obama White House and being written in multiple versions in the House and Senate are all focused on denying Americans the choice of buying health care or not. Obama care fails for the same reasons a applesauce recipe succeeds. Bothe are potentially good for you, but only Obama is proposing force feeding you. In my opinion forcing people to buy health insurance whether they want it or not is Un-American. It violates the Constitution. And this is not merely the opinion of just one blogger; it is the opinion of a number of legal experts. One, Andrew Napolitano, lawyer and Supreme Court Judge editorialized in the Wall Street Journal that...

The Supreme Court finally came to its senses when it invalidated a congressional ban

on illegal guns within 1,000 feet of public schools. In United States v. Lopez (1995),

the Court ruled that the Commerce Clause may only be used by Congress to regulate

human activity that is truly commercial at its core and that has not traditionally been

regulated by the states. The movement of illegal guns from one state to another, the

Court ruled, was criminal and not commercial at its core, and school safety has

historically been a state function.
Applying these principles to President Barack Obama's health-care proposal, it's clear

that his plan is unconstitutional at its core. The practice of medicine consists of the

delivery of intimate services to the human body. In almost all instances, the delivery

of medical services occurs in one place and does not move across interstate lines.

One goes to a physician not to engage in commercial activity, as the Framers of

the Constitution understood, but to improve one's health. And the practice of

medicine, much like public school safety, has been regulated by states for the past

century. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203917304574412793406386548.html

I should surprise no one that Obama and his liberal storm troopers ignore the Constitution; (they have said before that the documents that create the foundation of our nation are dead). Their anti American views and actions make it necessary for every American defend the Constitution and to drive Obama care to an early grave.

This is basically an "you either like Obama and his ideas or you don't" type controversy. As for his health care reform, "You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time."

People in the United States today have “more options in more parts of life than has ever been possible before,” says an article in the magazine Scientific American. This is true when it comes to choices of goods, services, employment, and even personal relationships. Logic might suggest that greater freedom of choice leads to greater satisfaction in life. Surprisingly, however, it often makes for misery. When a personal selection is made, says Scientific American, “they are nagged by the alternatives they have not had time to investigate.” In the end, such ones “experienced less satisfaction with life and were less happy, less optimistic and more depressed.” The conclusion? “There is good reason to believe,” says the article, “that overwhelming choice at least contributes to the epidemic of unhappiness spreading through modern society.”

You can't have your "Apple" and eat it too.
