The Real Tragedy of National Health Care

Bankrupting the American people and their childen for generations is one tragic result of the irresponsible actions of the Obama administration and their cronies in the U.S. congress.  However, it is not the most serious tragedy of their actions.

Our Declaration of Independence states clearly “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”  Our founding fathers believed that individuals possessed rights and that government gained it’s legitimate power from the consent of the governed. Leftists like Barack Obama don’t think that way.  They believe that governments have power and from that power they may grant, if they so choose, rights to individuals.

The current push for national health care isn’t a new idea.  The Nazi’s developed the concept of Züchtungsstaat, or “breeding state”, in which individuals existed only to create children for the state.  The important decisions regarding procreation and child rearing were regulated by government bureaucrats.  Freedom was replaced with control.

I will never accept that my body is property of the state.  I am an individual and the power of the state comes from me.  When the U.S. government fails to remember these self-evident truths, the Declaration of Independence has a solution for that also:

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
