> I read your comments regarding the bill, and was somewhat dismayed that you think Federal law trumps state law. That may de facto be true, but legally it is not. Article I Section 8 lists 17 powers granted to the federal government. Regulating, participating in health care is not among them. The Tenth Amendment makes clear what James Madison and others of our founding fathers believed to be true: That ONLY those powers listed were legitimate powers of federal government, and all other powers and rights were reserved to the people and the states.

Ever since Obamacare was floated as an idea Coulee Conservatives have been warning people about it. Any time the government seizes authority and control over something as complex as the health care of 300 million citizens you can pretty much bet with 100% certainty that it will be bad for individual liberty and will not accomplish anything positive.

One of the questions I asked my liberal friends from the very beginning was, "Do you really want a health care system that requires you to lobby a politician in order to get medical procedures approved?"  In other words, is it a good idea to politicize our health care by passing something like Obamacare that forces businesses to either apply for waivers (beg the federal government for mercy) or go out of business?

By MIKE HUEBSCH

Opposition to ObamaCare has remained steady since its March passage. More than half of Americans think the president and Democrats in Congress damaged the health care system and the national economy with their plan.

Wisconsin AG and Republican Lawmakers Fight Federal Health Care Takeover

According to Merriam-Webster, “to reform” means “to put or change into an improved form or condition.”  Democrats in Congress established a new national health care bureaucracy last weekend, but it didn’t earn the moniker of reform.  The failure to tackle what really makes health care expensive means things will only get worse.  The new laws will push costs even higher, diminish choices and jeopardize quality.

As with many Americans, I vehemently disagree with the congressional majority and the President regarding the passage of so-called health care reform. I'm not going to list the dirty laundry with that bill. That's not the focus of this post. My focus is, however, with how a few people have chosen to express their dissent toward the Democrats voting in favor of so-called health care reform.
