Constitution does not allow for Federal health care
In a recent letter to the editor, Sean Lowrie asks the essential question: We are debating health care nationally yet we don’t ask the central questions of liberty.

No Liberty with Negative Equity
Individual liberty cannot exist in a country where un-funded obligations, plus its current debt, surpass the total value of all private assets.
