Welcome to the Site

Hello everyone, welcome to Libertarian Sense, I appreciate you stopping by. This is quite a day to start this site considering the Progressive party (also known as the Democratic party) has passed all of the procedural votes they need in order to pass Universal Health Care.

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said “It’s been a long

hard road for all of us. But now we’ve cleared

all 60-vote hurdle. Along the way, we stand a

few short steps from the most significant finish

line we’ve had in Congress for quite many

decades. This debate has been dominated by

partisanship and politics. But I don’t see this as

60 democrats versus 40 Republicans, I see the

60 leaders who stood up to insurance companies and stood up for working families all across America. I see the 60 leaders who know it’s long past time we declare health care a right, not a privilege.”

The last part- “we declare health care a right, not a privilege” is NOT his choice. It’s NOT Congress’s choice. It’s NOT the Presidents choice. If he wants this to be a “Right,” it needs to become a Constitutional Amendment. Health care is NOT a right, having a job is NOT a right. Owning a house is NOT a right.

If you read back through history, you will see the Franklin D. Roosevelt tried the same ploy in 1944 with his “Second Bill of Rights.” At least he was intelligent enough to realize that it would have to be a second bill of rights.

When this bill passes, their will be rationing of health care, fewer doctors to go around, longer waits and a decrease in medical care. I really hope this does not affect anyone that you care for, but chances are... it will.
