Back to Basics

The proposed government run system denies Americans some of our basic constitutional rights.  It denies us the freedom of choice by ultimately not letting us choose our own healthcare insurance coverage.  It promotes age discrimination by have a government run agency determine if you may obtain treatments based on an age vs. cost factor.  It denies us the freedom of religion by forcing everyone to participate in a medical system when that may in direct violation of ones religious beliefs.  Freedom of religion is one of the core values of this country.  There is at least one religion in this country that does not believe in obtaining medical treatment.  Yet this bill would force them into purchasing an insurance plan the directly violates that belief.  Further, it would require their children to receive immunizations that they currently can deny.  They could have their homes entered by a government mandate and have their children immunized against their will, or risk the possibility that their children would be taken from them.  Our core constitutional rights should not be taken from us!  We should not have to compromise our constitutional rights to make healthcare reforms.
