Q. I am doing my government homework and I have to explain how the health care payed by the government is related to the constitution.
Is there any amendment that can explain how this is one of the government's duties?
Is there any amendment that can explain how this is one of the government's duties?
A. It cannot be explained because this is not one of the government's duties. If your teacher is pushing the position that somehow "free" healthcare is an obligation of the federal or state government, then throw the Constitution in their face and demand that they read it.
The best that your teacher will be able to come up with is the "general Welfare" clause. The problem with that argument is that the definition of welfare back then isn't what it is today. Not only that, but by "general" the Constitution means "everyone"; the rich, the poor, white, black, etc. and not just some disadvantaged group. The federal government should only be in the business of passing laws that benefit everyone, otherwise it's a more local issue that doesn't merit the federal gov'ts attention.
So along those lines, we can quickly see that "free" healthcare would only be something that applies to non-wealthy people and then would be disqualified under the original meaning of "general Welfare" and because it doesn't meet the requirements of that clause it becomes a State or even County issue. Good luck!

Where does government forcing its citizens to buy health insurance fit into a free society?
Q. After all, we are free, right? Free to choose? In a free society, wouldn't the decision whether to have health insurance be left to a free individual and not on mommy government as Comrade Obama wants it to be?
A. It doesnt. A free society by definition would have very little government intrusion into our lives. When democrats are in power, they supplant individual freedoms with government management, they suppress the private economic sector and promote government programs and controls (regulations). It is all about power. By making more and more people dependent on federal government, democrats make themselves careers in govt bureaucracy. Democrats give themselves lifetime careers in government at taxpayer expense or help friends in the private sector with large taxpayer paid contracts.
What should we do for a mental health/eating disorders awareness week?
Q. My friends and I are in charge of organizing a mental health and eating disorders awareness week at our high school. We are trying to come up with ideas to get students interested and educated on the stuff we're focusing on (EDs, self harm, suicide, self-esteem, etc.)
Do you have any suggestions? We are going to have things like petitions and a No-Diet Day, as well as information on resources, but I'm looking for interactive ways to get the school engaged. Thanks!

A. I would have available on display, the definitions of what is depression? What is ED's? Etc. Also get questionnaires that say, for example, do I have depression? Its great that you will have resources too. But let people know, maybe by percentage wise. How many people do suffer from mental Illness and that they are not alone. That mental illness doesn't
discriminate. It can happen at any age. That it also can be hereditary. Mention that fact that name calling does hurt.
And sometimes the people who are made fun of, it can have a long term negative effect. Let people know that if they think someone may hurt themselfs or threaten suicide that it is OK to go to a peer. Maybe they may not think the person is serious, or maybe its a cry for help. Teach that we all need to get involved. That Mental Illness is real. And to the suffer it can be very devastating. That it is OK, to seek help. That seeking help is not a failure, but a step in the right direction.
