Tyrants love national health care

Is there a desire within the federal government to help the people or to control them with national health care?

Every dictator in the 20th and 21st century has been an advocate of national health care. All modern dictators – communist, fascist or disguised – have at least one thing in common: They all believe in insisting on government- sponsored medicine.

The use of the welfare state to enforce policies of a police state should be too well known to be questioned. Physicians and scientists in the United States, paid by the government, have conducted radiation, chemical and drug experiments.

Leon Trotsky, who understood quite clearly what government monopolies produce, commented, “In a country where the sole physician is the State, opposition means death by health care rationing.”

But the biggest problem with it is that it is unconstitutional. The 10th Amendment makes it very clear that “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

That to which we turn in our time of need is our God. Do we really want that to be our corrupt federal government?
