Healthcare is labor provided by others. You do not have a right to another persons labor. The 13th amendment ended that argument definitively
Simple question, do our current laws allow the emergency room at hospitals to turn away people who need treatment?
No. Which is a
major violation of the U.S. Constitution. But that should come as no surprise as it was Tip O'Neill and the Dumbocrats who crafted and passed that unconstitutional legislation in the 1980's.
Doesn't the constitution give our elected officials the right to pass laws, and isn't there a process of checks and balances via the supreme court to rule on the legality of such laws? I believe this is the system defined by the constitution, so how can you make the claim that this legislation is a
major violation of the U.S. Constitution?
You're under the impression that as long as Congress votes on something and passes it into law - it is magically legal and constitutional. That's simply
not the case.
Tomorrow, Congress
could pass a law stating that it's ok to execute black people (after all, at one time the government said it was ok to own them). And the Supreme Court
could uphold that legislation. So in your mind, that would immediately make it ok to start executing black people? Or would you recognize how unconstitutional that is?
Congress is
not free to do anything they want just because they were elected representatives. They are still very much restricted by the U.S. Constitution. And relying on the judicial branch to restrain them is absurd - especially in this era of partisan, political activists such as Elana Kagen, Sonja Sotomayor, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Not a one of them acts as actual justices. They serve as political activists and they were appointed specifically for the purpose of rubber stamping the Democrat agenda.
The founders were
extremely clear that every person was responsible for knowing the U.S. Constitution and for resisting anything government did which was unconstitutional. Thomas Jefferson said it best:
“
In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution”.
– Thomas Jefferson (1798 in the Kentucky Resolutions)
Congress cannot pass any legislation they want just because they want to. They are bound by the chains of the Constitution. Unfortunately, the left in this country hates the U.S. Constitution and has allowed them to egregiously violate it.
