A Right To Health Care?

We are reviewing Sarah Palin's book, "America By Heart." In this excerpt she writes about the "Health Insurance Reform" plan that was passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Obama:

"Americans resist...trading their freedom for the promise of cradle-to-grave government security the way so many countries of Western Europe have. Americans don't just cling to their liberty like spoiled children. we understand that freedom isn't free.

Take the recent health care debate as an example. the folks pushing President Obama's government health care bill seemed to think that we could be bought. but when we say we believe that our rights are God-given it means something....They seemed to think we could be bribed by pie-in-the-sky promises; that we were gullible enough to believe that government could manufacture a new "right" to health care and we wouldn't pay the price with with our freedom, such as our freedom to keep what we earn, to choose our own doctor, and to buy--or not buy--health insurance.

...the American people have a principled wisdom that all the lawyers and academics and schooled-up "experts" in D.C. fail to appreciate. Washington may have managed to make it the law, but we still don't support Obamacare. It turns out we can't be so easily bought.

...this unsustainable bill jeopardizes the very thing it was supposed to fix: our health care system....It was supposed to make health care more affordable, but our premiums will continue to go up.

...we don't consider the health care vote a done deal, not by a long shot....We will not let America sink further into debt caused by government controlling another one sixth of our economy--and mandating it's approved health care coverage--without a fight. We will not abandon the American Dream to government dependency, fewer freedoms, and less opportunity."

The 25 million unemployed Americans are wondering why they are having such a hard time finding another full-time job to replace the ones they have lost during this recession. A Republican "Big Idea" from the early 1990's is one reason why, Click The Link At The Bottom Of This Page For The Article:
