A Logical Case for Health Care Reform

I know what some of you are going to say. How can I, Rod Eccles, believe there is a logical case for Health Care Reform? Am I not the one that shines the beacon of freedom and liberty all across this nation?

Well, yes I am. And I can make a logical case for some kind of Health Care Reform. It really is not contradictory to my beliefs or to the love of freedom and liberty. In fact I can give a logical argument that shows that this kind of reform would benefit every man, woman and child in our nation and have a ripple effect around the world.

We are about to celebrate a very auspicious holiday. One filled with somber attitudes, joyous revelations and the great company of family, friends and food. Thanksgiving is a holiday intended for the people of this great nation to honor and give thanks to Almighty God for His providence and blessing upon us as individuals and upon us as a nation.

We are truly blessed. And that blessing comes to us each as individuals in the form of freedom and liberty. We are born with such freedom and liberty as a child of God weather or not we believe in the Holy Father above or not. An atheist has the same freedom and God given rights as a devout Christian or Jew. In that respect, the Lord does not discriminate.

How does this relate to Health Care Reform from a logical standpoint? Simple. No matter what the issue is that we face as a nation or as individuals the same basic principle applies. You have the God given rights of freedom and liberty to do what you please in order to make your life as you see fit.

But when you get others who start to dictate what you can be and cannot be, when you have others breathing down your neck telling you what you can and cannot do and what you must and must not do, think or say, then you are denied the very freedom and liberty that God Himself bestowed upon you.

With that said, I must tell you, that because these rights are bestowed upon you by God at your birth (actually at your conception) you do not have the right to give them up to another man. And no one has the right to take them away.

Freedom and liberty has allowed man to do so many wonderful things throughout history. Yes, it is equally true that the same freedom and liberty has allowed man to do many equally horrible things. Which is why this kind of freedom and liberty is a responsiblity of the most high. You cannot wield such gifts with malace. All of mankind will suffer if you do.

And with that, here is the logical argument for Health Care Reform. Since the government has already and still wishes to limit your freedom, that is the cause for such disdain and inefficiency of our health care system. To truly reform our Health Care System, you need to return the freedom and liberty back to the people from which it was taken.

The health care industry is probably the most regulated industry in all the world, not just our nation. It has government rules and regulation up the wazzoo. This creates all kinds of problems as we see everywhere across the globe.

Government needs to get out of the health care business. It needs to leave it alone with minimal regulation. Yes, I said minimal regulation. Look, our system grew over the past 200 years without massive government intrusion and intervention and it only got better. Then came government over regulation and things started to go south.

Cost rose, people were denied insurance coverage and so on and so on. What we need to reform our system is government DE-regulation not more regulation. Its simple and logical. Return the freedom and liberty back to the people from whom you stole it and magical things will happen. Hey, after all we are a nation that was built from nothing to the most powerful on the planet with nothing more than our God given freedom and liberty.

I think that is proof enough of what Gods blessing can do for a nation.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
