Thanks for this VERY pertinent bit of information! Good work!
HEALTH CARE IS A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is? This was a bumper sticker I observed recently and is typical of either socialist brainwashing, or this person has never read the U.S. Constitution. After Mr. Clinton took office, his wife decided to waste everyone's time and energy on formulating a national health care plan. congress, in this frenzy, spent over $30 million and a year and a half worth of time and effort for legislation, if signed into law, will not survive a true constitutional court challenge. Mr. & Mrs. Clinton, Herger, Dole, Gingrich, Kennedy, Feinstein, and the owner of the bumper sticker above, apparently have no regard for the U.S. Constitution. As a matter of fact, research turned up by Linda Liotta, a "patriot" whose story was actually written up in thc Washington Post, August 20, 1995, found a letter in the health care "task force" archives from a Justice Department official lawyer explaining how to "avoid the Tenth Amendment limitation" on federal power over the states. To say that Mrs. Clinton [a lawyer herself was being disingenuous, is putting it politely.
...The direct control of medical practice has been left to the states."
What the U.S. Supreme Court has consistently ruled. is that health care is beyond the power of the federal government and reserved to the individual states of the Union by the 10th Amendment. Yet, our learned brethren and the Co-President of the United States wants to waste everyone's time and energy on a moot point.
Well, it certainly did distract the average American out there, didn't it?
