The company didn’t issue the op-ed, the CEO did. He did so not to attack Obama, but to offer a better plan...

Obama has often said, when talking about his plans to "fix" health care, "anyone else have a better idea, I'd like to hear it."

Mr. Markey simply answered Obama's request.

I LOVE Whole Foods for my fruits and veggies. They are a bit more expensive but they are worth it! Go Whole Foods!

I agree!

Just voted! Only 2% are Voting for a Boycott and they are no doubt the Crazy Taliban Sympathizers that make up OBOZO’S White House Staff with Baghdad Bob Gibbs as their Turban Head Deputy in Chief! :-) A full 95% have said NO WAY will they boycott ‘WHOLE FOODS!” In fact, they are more inclined to shop at WHOLE FOODS because of the Leadership of the CEO!:-)

"...Mackey basically says health care — and even food and shelter — are commodities people shouldn’t feel they have a right to”

He is right.

I oppose Health Care Reform (HCR) because it is a direct assault on individual liberties. I think that is its main purpose.

HCR is not just about rationing and wealth redistribution. It's about the end of all individual rights as the corrosive effects of the new collectivist basic human right to health care spreads throughout the legal and political system like a virus.

Congressman Anthony Weiner says that health care is not a commodity. If health care is not a commodity then doctors and nurses are not free and sovereign citizens. If health care is a right then health care workers are slaves to that right who must serve it. No health care worker could refuse to provide their services, for any reason, because that would violate the patient's basic human right to health care.

That means that health care providers have no individual rights. The collective right of the people to receive health care would supersede the provider's individual right to set their fees, their hours or change their occupational status or even decide how to apply their skills and knowledge. A collective right, by practical definition, is a state right because it is a right that is provided by the government to all not protected by the government as something possessed by each person. It is also a state right because it supersedes the individual rights of others when the two come into conflict.

It isn't stated in any of the bills that a patient's rights to care supersedes a provider's right to set fees and hours etc, but it doesn't need to. Rights are always adjudicated in the courts. The legislation simply establishes the foundation for the courts to rule in favor of the patient's collective right to health care.

Weiner’s view is collectivist, fascist and totalitarian. Collectivist because it is superior to an individual right. Fascist because it is overseen by one entity the Federal government. Totalitarian because the Federal government is the true possessor of this collective right and the administrator and enforcer of it as well.

Congressman Weiner's view is the underlying philosophy of the entire Health Care Reform legislation the House and Senate have put forth. Consider the setting up of community watch dogs to monitor various health parameters of citizens in the Senate version of the bill. Look at pages 382 - 393.

TITLE I—QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS

Even the citizens themselves will be subject to state set regulations on their behavior in order to fulfill the human right of universal health care. It isn't the individual's liberty that is being protected by that it is the state's control over its health care system that is being guarded. How much clearer can it be that these bills abrogate the concept of individual rights?

Health Care is a Liberty Issue Conservative Underground - 18 August 2009 - Tim Dunkin

Second Bill of Rights aka FDR's economic bill of rights (An early attempt to embed collective rights into American politics and society.)

Collective rights, such as a right to health care, is Marxist communism to its core.

The liberals I know, are so self-centered, that the mere idea of self-sacrifice in order to help someone else is as alien to them as asking them to respect the country that enables them to enjoy the freedoms they so love to abuse. Liberals have no problem using the law, or courts to order you to give money to those who are too lazy to work; but are ‘above’ giving to charity, be it a church, or other fundraiser.

You have just described many members of my ungenerous, self-centered, liberal family. Everything is "all about them." Curiously, I'm the black sheep/scapegoat of my family, but always called upon in desperation whenever there is trouble and they need someone to "fix" it.

Oh, and when you do fix it, they don't even bother to say thanks, but blame you that things didn't go exactly the way they wanted it to!

Liberals are ungrateful, spoiled brats, plain and simple. Why don't they just take over Cuba and run their country, instead of ours.

I know. I only pinged you because I mentioned you and the list.

I also don’t remember seeing you thanked very often for taking care of the list.

I enjoy poking libtards in the eye by skewing their polls. Thanks for helping make that possible.

“I actually drive 40 miles round trip to get to the closest one to me. Now I will do so more often JUST because of THIS!”

You inspired me to check where the nearest Whole Foods Market is to my house. There’s actually one in the next town over.

I also read about John Mackey and found out he’s also against corrupt unions. He’s truly an independant thinking and courageous.

I don’t know if you are on Face Book, but there is a Whole Foods Market page. I became a fan and left him some encouraging words.

Sun Harvest. They used to be owned by Wild Oats, but Whole Foods bought Wild Oats and sold off Sun Harvest. It's lower end than Whole Foods, but Corpus doesn't really support much high end shopping.
