I’m not worried about socalism, or tyranny, or dictatorship if there is health care reform in the US. Frankly I think people throw those terms around without thinking through what is already going on in the health care market, or how to fix it so more people are covered at lower cost.

I AM worried about doing nothing, which means costs continue to double every few years, while fewer people are insured and treated, and while insurance companies continue to operate local monopolies across our country, enriching themselves at the expense of the health and well-being of the citizenry as a whole.

If it is correct that there is not a right to health care in the Constitution, it also means that you do not have a right to be a _____.

However:

The Ninth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads: ” The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

It provides that the naming of certain rights in the Constitution does not take away from the people rights that are not named, i.e. the right to privacy.

Therefore, you do enjoy the right to be a ______.

Do You Think Our Senators really care about “affordable,” health care for the average American? Neither Al or Amy has either signed on to S. 604, the senate version of H.R. 1207, that has at least 289 co sponsors. What exactly does “affordable” health care mean? More socialism will only bring more tyranny. What does Employer responsibility mean? Does that mean Budgeting properly and not relying on big brother handouts so the state and federal government can tell them what to do. Does that mean not lying to their employees? Or expanding the size and look of the buildings while laying them off and trying to get rid of any pension. Wake up people the “Public option” Is another term for totalatarian tip toe incrementelisim so that big brother can micromanage every aspect of our lives. The social engineers that brought us medicare are going to bring us a public option that eventually everyone but the so called elite will be forced into. Has anyone seen the stock in verichip lately? Vote yes for real reform. Does anyone know what that means? Real reform means Read The Constitution! Where is health care a right in the constitution? Or maybe you want to live under agenda 21 U.N. Dictatorship? Turn off the TV and read! Tell the congress that we demand health freedom. Tell Them that we demand you read any bill. Tell them that we the people demand time to read and understand any bill. Understand what an individual mandate is. Say No! No last minute additions. No threats of martial law or a breakdown of society. You people that think you have power, don’t you understand that you will be forced to accept the poison too. Please break your conditioning, or maybe you get off on it! You might have a few more toys a few more vacations with a few more drinks to dull your depression of the false reality that you have created. In the meantime your grandchildren will be born with more health problems. Your loved ones will see more and more early onset alzheimers and a breakthrough will be right around the corner with a new implant. Do you know that “herd immunity” is really only pseudoscience? Or maybe you like being treated as cattle. 100% is the goal. Where is the real evidence? It’s hidden in scientific doublespeak. This is herd mentality. Look up^ Look Around We are in a petri dish! Do you know what a “mock up” virus is? MF 59? Aso3? Squalene? GWS? GBS? Read! Investigate! Chan says swine flu is mild, yet Freiden says, “on average flu is not a mild illness.” As Public Enemy would say, “Don’t Believe the Hype!” Prof Griff knows whats going on! Peace! Good, Love& Liberty will prevail! (Tyranny)

I would say the nurses’ professional association endorsing Tarryl Clark over the candidate who is trying to claim the health-care issue is a better indicator of who can win this race than these numbers. Oh, and last I checked, Reed ran as an Independence Party candidate, not a DFLer. Besides, why would Reed want to run under the DFL banner when you paint the party as one of “major tax increases and other partisan issues” in the preceding paragraph?

This is a great article about the real numbers in the race:
http://www.politicsinminnesota.com/2009/oct06/3709/reed-seriously-staffs-6th-cd-numbers
Clark has a lot of labor support, but she can’t be a congressperson from MN’s 6th. She’s too liberal for a conservative district. She runs in SD15. Comparing SD15 to CD6 there’s a 22% difference in how, for example, Obama performed between the two.

Everyone knows Tarryl Clark has done great work for the DFL leading the charge for major tax increases and other partisan issues. Admirable, but not a great record to run on in the 6th. If we want to unseat Michele Bachmann the candidate to back is Dr. Maureen Reed.

Reed has broad and extensive experience in Health Care, Business, Education, Environmental Issues and the Arts. She’s is able to tackle health care reform as a Doctor, Health Care Administrator, Medical Director, and Small and Medium Business CEO who had to purchase health insurance for all her employees. Reed is a middle of the road, Minnesota DFLer with the experience to be an effective legislator and a great candidate.
