TexasFred on Health Care

We all know about the recent health care bill that was passed. TexasFred talks about the states opposing the legislation, why they should oppose it, and why we should support them. Not just in Texas, but across the nation.

The article is aimed at convincing the general population, the readers of his blog, to support the push by states against the health care bill. His main argument centers around a CNN poll that says that 59% of Americans oppose the bill. He argues that it is the responsibility of congress to enact the will of the people, and that the health care bill should not have been passed and should be repealed as soon as possible because it opposes the will of the people. He doesn't really explain what legal basis the states have for opposing the bill, but with the goal of convincing readers that some form of action should be taken, his argument is solid. He goes on to say that concerned citizens should contact their Attorney General to support the move against the bill.

Fred's argument is compelling. If the majority of Americans oppose the bill, and it gets passed anyway, then the government is clearly working against the will of the American people. If the national government will not fight to support the will of the people, then that responsibility falls on our states -- and it is the responsibility of the people to support them as well.
