Health Care Legal Cases

[Mark D.]

Constitutionality:
1) Dennis Kucinich partially referenced this. The Constitution says we've the right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness.
2) Uninsured people who are sick, under-insured/insured who are and are denied coverage are denied these inalienable rights.
3) Wouldn't that make for-profit insurance unconstitutional. Someone should challenge that. I mean to the S.C.O.T.U.S.

Hippocratic Oaths:
1) Doctors, and hospitals, have a 'Hippocratic Oath' to do no harm. By association, so should pharmacies, private or not.
2) When they deny chemo patients medicine based on ability to pay, they violate this oath, as they do serious harm.
3) When they take a patient who can't pay to court, and foreclose on their home, they do harm, and violate again.
4) Based on this, they should be forbidden to engage in medicine upon any such denial or collection activity.

I'm not joking. There's a legal case to be made in both of the above. I don't know much about law beyond what you can see here &
don't have resources or time to devote to it. Maybe another here can. Why not? 'Birthers' have taken less valid issues to court.

If any major precedent is set, any major headway made, in the above two cases, the only real option to fix the problem, which to
now has been the 'have-nots' problem, but would then be the 'have-mores' problem (so it will matter more) would be Single-Payer.

Make it viral. Why not. Next regressive you hear 'patriotically' referring to the Constitution to defend their Libertarian view.
Surprise them with these truths. We're in extreme times, and extreme measures like these certainly couldn't hurt the cause now.
