With respect to our rights....(which existed BEFORE government, and which will exist AFTER government) Government's ONLY responsibilities are to protect and guarantee them.  If the government begins INFRINGING on those rights, it's no longer a government "of, by, and for" the people.  Think about it.  We were born with them.  If the "government" is "providing" something, it's not a right!  When I have to "provide" in MY plan, that due to age, gender, etc. I will never, Never, NEVER use, you ARE asking me to pay someone else's way.   As usual, since the government started mucking up the health care system, beginning decades ago, the problem has continually gotten worse.  Once the government starts giving stuff away for "free" (which it never IS), it's very difficult to convince the lemmings that, contrary to popular opinion, nobody owes you anything!
