Cute -- which rightwing radio wingnut did you steal this "clever" gem from?
Now that the "contraception queen" opened the can of worms about the government paying for HER contraception, I started thinking about what ISN'T considered a "right"?
Just a few more mandates surely on the way thanks to BO and his healthcare plan to keep us all safe.
"Republicans may complain that these suggested mandates represent an unconstitutional expansion of federal government power. However, I'm sure Attorney General Eric Holder, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and your political adviser David Axelrod could produce a legal memorandum explaining why they are necessary and proper to promote our general welfare (and of course, your re-election). Besides, if you can justify a mandate on individuals to buy health insurance, this should be a piece of cake."
Should a cafe be mandated to give free food to the starving?
Ronald Reagan mandated that hospitals treat patients for free. This is what let to the mandate that everyone requires carries health insurance; so we don't have to pay for other peoples' medical care. Who would have thought Ronald Reagan had such socialistic ideas!
Quote:
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) is a U.S. Act of Congress passed in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). It requires hospitals to provide care to anyone needing emergency healthcare treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. There are no reimbursement provisions. Participating hospitals may only transfer or discharge patients needing emergency treatment under their own informed consent, after stabilization, or when their condition requires transfer to a hospital better equipped to administer the treatment.

The cost of emergency care required by EMTALA is not directly covered by the federal government. Because of this, the law has been criticized by some as an unfunded mandate.
