If you say so.

I might be tempted to point out that although high-minded language might call them ‘inalienable’ human rights, without some government they will get cheerfully ‘alienated’ from you.

It is government that punishes those who would take them from us, and yes, “gives to us” an environment to enjoy them in.

Taxes are the price you pay for civilization.

This is a good thing. The act, as written and proposed by Republicans, is horse-pucky. However, the promise to “life, liberty, and happiness” given to us by government, rules out a profit motive.

Perhaps, by losing in the courts, the people can win.

“…cease to disappointment…”

My apologies.

I would hope if this issue makes it to SCOTUS that they too would affirm these lower court rulings to the effect that ‘Obamacare’ is unconstitutional.

Unfortunately they are corporation friendly and the Obama sponsored healthcare plan definitely plumps the bottomline for corporate medicine along with “Big Pharma”.

The Supremes never cease to disappointment with their “We the People” unfriendly rulings.
When in doubt they always pull the old “Commerce Clause” out of the hat, for one of their smoke and mirrors arcane rulings.
