I don't want control. I want cooperation and collaboration, responsibility and accountability, as they have clearly demonstrated more progress for everyone.
I want the country to run like a very successful and large and ethical non-profit corporation.
Dear PMZ: I and others AGREE with the end goal of accountability, collaboration as well as ethical and sustainable solutions.
Where we disagree is abusing govt to IMPOSE this using mandates that DEFEAT this very purpose.
The ACA is NOT the most economical and efficient way. If anything good comes of it, it is being used to force people to fight for Constitutional solutions. Sort of like holding a gun to someone's head to make them go fix a problem. This is not the best way, but it is speeding up the process by forcing that person to work fast. That is the only good I see in it.
The ACA itself is not constitutional, either in itself, or at the very least by the right of people to defend their own beliefs without discrimination, penalty or exclusion/imposition by govt.
The best way to establish collaborative sustainable and ETHICAL solutions is to COLLABORATE in an ETHICAL way, ie not abuse political or govt power to impose or coerce.
I hope you will join me in asking all Constitutionalists, and believers in free choice, sustainable health care, and cooperative business by free enterprise to work together to set up LEGAL alternatives so that ACA can be uphold and enforced by VOLUNTARY compliance and not abuse govt or taxation powers to force this on people who do not believe govt has authority to force people to buy insurance to cover their health care and "penalize them if they choose other options of paying these costs."
Denying or obstructing the beliefs of other people, penalizing them for the free exercise to choose other means of health care, is neither "sustainable" or "ethical" but PREVENTS collaboration because it forces them to go into defense mode and waste resources FIGHTING FOR INALIENABLE RIGHTS THAT THIS BILL TAKES AWAY.
So again, this whole approach defeats the very purpose and goal that we could otherwise work on in common. Totally destroys the relationships and credibility of the arguments.
