The Case for Self-Preservation vs HB3200

To establish a premise for "The Case for Self-Preservation", I need to quote the very first sentence of the Declaration of Independence (authored by Thomas Jefferson); "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." This quote could not have been more clearly articulated. It is on this premise that I will make the case against HB3200, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009". The insidious 1018 pages of this bill are in absolute, and total contradiction with first sentence of the Declaration of Independence.

HB3200 is riddled with a myriad of intrusive and oppressive set of rules that will deny the American people of their right to choose the insurance of their choice, if they choose any at all. The Government has no Constitutional right to mandate a National Health plan that forces every American to be covered. Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution lists the Enumerated Powers, there are 19 of them. The Enumerated Powers spell out what the Federal Government is authorized to do. You will not find any mention of mandated National Health Care. HB3200 clearly is in violation of the Enumerated Powers, therefore not Constitutionally legal.

Many provisions of HB3200 if enacted is the equivalent of a Death Warrant for millions of Senior Citizens, as well as millions of unborn children. If you are elderly and a high maintenance patient in terms of medical procedures and/or pharmaceuticals you will be denied procedures as well as the prescriptions you may require to continue your life with some acceptable measure in terms of your quality of your life.

If HB3200 is enacted at this point in time I will be looking for methods of self-preservation. To put it succinctly, when you are faced with a threat to your life which certain provisions of this onerous piece of legislation will certainly do, what do you do? When your life is threatened the innate psyche of the human mind of self-preservation takes over, you recognize the threat, assume a defensive posture and act to mitigate the threat by what ever means available and appropriate. The essence of this bit of verbiage is, HB3200 and the Federal Government are a threat to the lives of millions of people, the elderly and the unborn................Prepare to defend yourselves! It is perfectly clear that not one thing in HB3200 enhances your "Unalieable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" does it?
