Mike Pence On Health Care

(Bumped. - promoted by Thomas)

Mike Pence this month:
The truth is, government-run health insurance takes away citizens' freedom, forcing them to accept a government decree about intensely personal health decisions.
Yes, we wouldn't want the government making "intensely personal health decisions" would we? Here's Pence four years ago:
"A society is judged by the way that it treats its most vulnerable citizens. No person in America may be deprived of the right to life without due process of law and Terri Schiavo is no different. Terri Schiavo deserves to have her constitutional rights adjudicated by our federal courts and that right must not be infringed by any agency of government at any level.

"I commend the bipartisan efforts in Congress to save this woman's life and to preserve her right to seek legal review of her case in our federal courts. I especially commend the heart of our Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner for their willingness to intervene in this case on behalf of this woman's constitutional rights.

"While Congress has acted to render aid in this case, I will continue to work to pass the Incapacitated Persons Act that Congress considered this week to ensure that any American in Terri Schiavo's grave circumstances may have the assurance that they will have access to the federal courts."

The point being, Mike Pence has never been against government interference in health care decisions. Mike Pence didn't hesitate to insert his will into the hospital room of Terri Schiavo, and from what I can tell, he would do it again.

Pence doesn't want a politician coming between you and your doctor... (4.00 / 3)
Unless, of course, you are a woman. Or are incapacitated in some way. Or...

Consistency isn't the neocons' mantra (4.00 / 3)
"Out of my life, except when I don't like what you're doing in your bedroom."

They're consistent on Right to Life, at all ages, but in so doing, they interfere with doctors' and families; wishes for terminally ill adults.

And Pence can afford to be cavalier about health care.  He's got the world's best coverage.



More "Right to Life" inconsistencies... (4.00 / 2)
1.  The death penalty.

2  War.

"It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority."  --Benjamin Franklin

Yes, even Democratic authority.
