Constitution and Healthcare

The Constitution of the United States guarantees Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. It does not guarantee the right to medical coverage or a house. However, H.R. 3200, the Medical Healthcare bill does have beginning on page 424 that at 65 years of age or older a person must have counseling every 5 years to discuss treatment and end of life issues. Also included in this bill it seems to indicate that some government bureaucrat could deny treatment when cost or quality of life are taken into consideration regardless whether or not the patient can afford this treatment or is insured for this treatment. This can only mean that euthanasia, and even eugenics will play an important part in any medical decisions. This was talked about in the 1920’s in both this country and Germany. (Hitler approved of this and we know what he did) Are we any better? This is the way to rid society of the unwanted, the aged, infirm or handicapped. Will the developmental disabled or mentally be next? After all, they are a drain on society and we know we do not want that under the Obama administration. As far as I am concerned, this bill violates my constitutional rights.
