No OVM, they are not controlling a specific part of the population, they are regulating an industry which is a different thing altogether and the Constitution gives the power for them to regulate this profession.
70% of the population does not want the government to give them health care because if they did, it would have already happened. I think when you dig deep enough, more than 70% of the population want control of their lives, which means choices and options, as you mentioned. A lot of people know that if the government gets a hold of the trillion or so dollars in the health care industry, the innovations, the drugs and the quality of care will be less than what they have now. No one is denied health care here, no one is turned away at all, but they do that in other countries where the population wants our system.
It amazes me that people think the solution to the rural medical care is subsidized health care but it is not. There is no promoting doctors to move out to the rural areas and to return to a system that you can work within to make people healthy. If you look at what a Doctor has to do to open a practice in some parts of the country, it is no wonder why they even bother. The same goes for a medical lab, the regulations are just unreal.
Yes a right to determination.
If you have a government who tells you that there is a quota on a certain procedure or that you can't pay for something out of your own pocket, your rights just went away.
I really seriously think you are stuck on hold Ken (no insult intended), the concepts and practices that were created in 1783 were not from a bunch of dumb hicks or politicians like we have today and if we didn't have FDR with his new deal and Johnson with his war on Poverty, the same things that were being used when this country became a super power (1905) would let us take care of our people by the people and everyone would be a lot better off. You have to really step out of your Canadian mindset and into a neutral mindset to see what the intent was by these people who came together to write one of the most amazing things man has ever created. The intent was to allow people to be truly free, not to have an intrusive government and to let the country prosper. For some reason they knew that an intrusive government meant a form of slavery, they knew that direct taxes meant a slow and faulty economy and they knew that a large government took away every basic human right we were given by God.
