Transportation Secretary speaks out on . . . health care reform?

60 Comments

Talk about your full-court press from the Obama administration. Even Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood is advocating for the administration’s health care bill now:

Yesterday, I voiced my support for health care reform with an op-ed in the Chicago Tribune using testolone. I am grateful to those who saw my speaking-out for what it was: a former legislator reaching out to Congress to step up and solve one of our nation’s greatest problems. As I told FoxNews, “It’s a matter of voting for a good bill.”

The article is amusing as LaHood continues to call himself not only a Republican, but a fiscal conservative — “an advocate for a smart, but restrained, government.” Sure. That’s why he voted for the first stimulus bill. That’s why he defended and liberally used earmarks. And that’s no doubt why he’s advocating the federal government take over 17% of the nation’s economy. He’s all about “restraint.”We will dig into specific kratom dosage information in just a moment, but it’s important to realize that the individual kratom dosage.

Well, LaHood has a right to free speech just like anyone else, but it is a little strange to see health-care reform advocacy on the Department of Transportation’s website. Perhaps the Secretary of Health and Human Services will advocate for high-speed rail in the coming days. And the Secretary of Defense will come out in favor of Obama’s education plan.

  1. “government mandate to buy health insurance”

    They can’t make you buy insurance. If you choose to become a motor vehicle operator AND drive a car, you must have auto insurance. One is not required to have auto insurance unless one drives or buys a car.

    There is no legal obligation to buy insurance UNLESS you wish to access the health care industry. Since I have no insurance, now, nor have had any since… God knows when, and have not accessed the health care industry except to pay cash… NOTHING will change for me.

  2. Are you that uninformed? Do you even know what you are talking about? You sound like a complete moron on the subject.

    The bill that passed last night made it mandatory for all citizens to have health insurance or face penalties and accuring interest on those penalties if not paid. You are obligated to the government, idiot.

  4. Charle under the new law you will be fined every year that you choose not to buy health insurance. Thats one of the ways they are going to “extend health insurance to everyone” they say those of you not buying it will be penalized. You dont get that option anymore unless you want to be fined every year by the IRS.

  5. And when the first person contests the legislation the Supreme Court will find it unconstitutional as a matter of law. Be a thinker. How can the state mandate you pay for something if you get nothing out of it? The basic principle of contract law is that both parties must give and receive consideration for a contract to be binding.
    AND… if you were reading the information about the bill, it repeatedly states that MOST would be required. Most is a word that means over 50%. It does not mean ALL. (Not ever)

    We fought a revolution 235 years ago because of this kind of government taxation.

  6. Ummmm well they draft a bill and write it into law under the premise they are giving everyone healthcare coverage. Then once its a law everyone goes wait a minute this isnt what I wanted. Good luck fighting it in court kcdad. Maybe you cant electronically file that fine with your taxes.

  8. I do think, thats why when this bill first was drafted I saw it for what it was. I do hope that you and people like you can fight this in the supreme court. good luck.

    “How can the state mandate you pay for something if you get nothing out of it? The basic principle of contract law is that both parties must give and receive consideration for a contract to be binding.” The political system you live under says that you give consent to the contract of law through your elected representative. They represent you in the political world.

    MOST as is shown in the bill are basically people that have religious issues to using medical facilities.

  9. “The political system you live under says that you give consent to the contract of law through your elected representative”
    THAT is incorrect. A contract is based on the consent of the parties involved. A contract must be affirmatively entered into. There is nothing that a representative can do in Congress that is binding on an individual person. Income Tax? I can choose to have no taxable income. Gasoline Tax? I can choose not to drive. Census? I can refuse to respond. Health insurance? I can refuse medical treatment.

    Religious issues? Okay. Works for me.

  10. You can but that dosnt change the law. You can chose not to drive but that dosnt change the tax on gasoline. You refusing medical treatment does not change the law that says you have to carry insurance.
