Did you know the president’s controversial health care law helps guarantee “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?” That’s what Nancy Pelosi said on the House floor on Wednesday.
“I appreciate [my colleague's] leadership on helping us honor what our founders put forth in our founding documents, which is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” Pelosi told her colleagues, citing the Declaration of Independence. “And that is exactly what the Affordable Care Act helps to guarantee.” She wasn’t done. “A healthier life, the liberty to pursue happiness, free of the constraints that lack of healthcare might provide to a family,” she said. “If you want to be photographer, a writer, an artist, a musician, you can do so. If you what to start a business, if you want to change jobs, under the Affordable Care Act, you have that liberty to pursue your happiness.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/pelosi-defends-obamacare-using-declaration-of-independence/ |

Quoted:
Right - I am quite sure the founding fathers were thinking of forcing others to pay for your health care when they spoke of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Trust me, she wouldn't be referencing the founding fathers if she knew what would have happened to her had she been around back then, with the same ideology! the citizens would have come and dragged her into the streets and tar and feathered her, if not worse! |

The guy who wrote it says otherwise, who should I believe? "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson |

Is she saying I am free to pursue that happiness?

Probably a bunch of WTF looks and "Pipe down, the adults are talking." There was no possible way that the Affordable Care Act could have been enacted. |

Quoted:
So............let me get this straight........................by you mandating that I do something, it makes me live longer and more free?????? You are a productive person. The demoncraps are not interested in your freedom. They want freedom for their people: welfare parasites, those for whom 'work' is hard, illegal aliens, etc. |

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
Pelosi swore to this oath when she took office, and every two years since then. Now you know how much an oath means to some people. |

well if she's going to use the DoI, then use the important part:
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation....... |

Call the thing a tax, a federal health care tax. Done. I don't love this fix but leaving healthcare alone is crazy. Costs are going up 10%+ every year and companies cannot afford to spend that money. we already have a federal healthcare tax. and i assure you, the .gov involvement is what is driving up costs. if they would leave it alone, costs would go down tremendously. |

Dude. I buy health insurance for a corporation. New drugs and new treatments are driving up costs. Drug companies can lobby doctors to prescribe and advertise to get schmucks to ask for it. The last piece is end of life care which costs more than the average person will spend in the rest of their life.
Government might not help but healthcare is screwed up plenty all on it's own. |

To free man from the slavery of sustaining his own life. The Enlightenment era freed man from other men. The "Progressive" Era will free man from nature. |

Notice the absence of jobs like soldier, executive, business owner or cop. Surprised she didn't include basket weaver or professional tanning model in her list. |

She needs the punch that cannot be spoken of. Why can't we speak of it? Did I miss something? Will I get in trouble if I post the cartoon pic of the kid named Paco? Or the video clip of the punch at the ATM? Those are classic on ARFCOM. I'm not even allowed to post my "Bitch Slap" demotivational any more.

"If you want to be photographer, a writer, an artist, a musician, you can do so. If you what to start a business, if you want to change jobs, under the Affordable Care Act, you have that liberty to pursue your happiness.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/pelosi-defends-obamacare-using-declaration-of-independence/ Yeah, as long as you manage to make enough to pay for a mandatory $15,000 "healthcare insurance" policy while you are pursuing your dream of becoming the latest hip-hop star, you are GTG. Most of the people who support Obamacare think it will provide them free health insurance if they can't afford it. They need to read it, because what it does in reality is provide them the incentive to find some way to pay for their government-run health insurance to avoid going to prison for tax evasion. There is in fact very little in the "health care" law about health care. It is a shrewdly disguised tax law that institutes a "life tax" in that you have to find a way to pay it whether you have any income or not. |
