This whole question of universal healthcare is, in actuality, only the ramblings of those who have given up on knowing what it really is that owns a man. Is it the <\/span>state<\/span><\/i>? Is it his <\/span>money<\/span><\/i>? Or does a <\/span>man<\/span><\/i> own a man? To immediately assume that the importance of Obamacare comes directly from a <\/span>public good<\/span><\/i> is to ignore the existing rights of men which they are naturally given, their own agency and <\/span>control <\/span><\/i>over their own bodies. The very notion that any governmental body should have their say in how a man exerts his money, his body, and his time is an infringement on the rights of men in the United States that would burn the ears of John Locke himself. Any man of stature should have memorized those immortal words from <\/span>The<\/span><\/i> Declaration of Independence <\/span><\/i>\u201clife, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness\u201d the longer the <\/span>malignant<\/span><\/i> tumor of the state is allowed to decide the interpretation of those words the further that man gets from his natural born purpose of protecting his <\/span>body<\/span><\/i> and his <\/span>property<\/span><\/i>. The Affordable Care Act seeks to make sure \u201ceach and every American: receives health care coverage from the government. To understand why this can only lead to the detriment of <\/span>honest<\/span><\/i> men in <\/span>honest<\/span><\/i> society we must examine what it even means to maintain liberties. A man\u2019s liberties are not those things that the government, that the state, gives him in a mad gamble for <\/span>complacency<\/span><\/i>; a man\u2019s liberties are those aspects of himself that are <\/span>immutable<\/span><\/i> given by himself to himself and cannot be removed from him with the exception of his <\/span>death.<\/span><\/i> Knowing this for a fact it becomes <\/span>immensely<\/span><\/i> clear why the Affordable Care Act is a desperate <\/span>intrusion<\/span><\/i> on the liberties of American men. Those who seek the comforts of the Affordable Care Act are only those who have been so <\/span>shunned<\/span><\/i> by society that they no longer think they are fit to participate in a meaningful way. There is an order to the American healthcare system. A man participates in society, he moves up the ranks from the station of his birth, he finds himself in a position to do <\/span>work<\/span><\/i> for the betterment of himself and so he might afford himself the <\/span>luxuries<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>necessities<\/span><\/i> that living entails; this includes healthcare. Those who are so far from the <\/span>light<\/span><\/i> of modern society that they have no choice but to bawl to the state and receive whatever they hand out have lost their stature, have lost their individuality, and have lost the strength that makes them human. Furthermore, when the shadow dwellers and <\/span>mystics<\/span><\/i> who have no sense of self worth come looking for help, where will the money come from? Not from those who can\u2019t even find themselves a proper place in civil society, but from the <\/span>hardworking<\/span><\/i> individuals who can take care of themselves, and now <\/span>must<\/span><\/i> take care of others. The Affordable Care Act should be repealed as quickly as possible so that we might begin restoring honest liberties to <\/span>deserving<\/span><\/i> Americans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
