About the COSFL Education Coalition

 

The Florida Education Coalition is working to build our army of the future while continuing to build the army of today! 
{review our charter, here}

 

Vision: 

COS-Florida is an Army of Volunteers who are equipped and enabled through education and enlightenment, who engage the Florida voting population and their children on topics related to Article V of the Constitution and civics education at large.
 

We will:

Educate: To bring a person to a point where they realize/recognize a principle, concept, and/or fact they had now yet known.
 
Enlighten: Using the known concept, principle, and or fact to bring about/inform a change in thought/behavior.
 
Enable: Using the combination of education and enlightenment create resources/tools needed to enact change in others through continued proliferation of education and enlightenment.

Internal Application:
Considering the three actions; Educate, Enlighten, Enable, apply them to the staff structure of COS-FL. That is, throughout the COS-FL volunteer structure there are points at which we need to take the concepts and principles explained in the COS University videos, manuals, and pamphlets and package them for easy access and presentation/distribution by the volunteer membership. The operative words here are "package" and "easy".
 
External Application: Considering the three actions: Educate, Enlighten, and Enable; apply them to already established organization/structures within the state of Florida. Specifically and fundamentally, we are talking about the State Department of Education and the entire academic apparatus within K-12 and Universities. More broadly we are talking about organizations such as VFW's, Rotary Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, etc. The question becomes who is applying these actions to these organizations/structures? The answer is, principally, the retired communities of Veterans, Law Enforcement, and Teachers. Why retired? Two reasons - they are retired and have the time and their experience informs them greatly while providing great credibility. Moreover, because they are retired, they are not subjected to undue constraints being actively employed brings.
 

Our Themes for Education include

  • Constitution Day/Week
  • Freedom Week
  • Victims of Communism

 

The areas of education we will touch are

  • Public
  • Private
  • Faith Based
  • Home Schooled

Physicians for COS

The diagnosis is clear.

We have a growing cancer today known as the Obamacare. As a result physicians are no longer free to practice medicine.

No profession feels the full force of the federal government more than physicians. The medical profession is the most highly regulated profession in the United States. The practice of medicine is controlled, taxed, and regulated to the point of being destroyed by the heavy hand of the federal government.

Physicians are told how to bill, how much to charge, and how to treat patients. They are mandated to use expensive electronic medical records. The federally enacted HIPPA (Health Information Privacy and Portability Act) makes the communication between physicians and atients burdensome, inefficient,and expensive. Every physician is required by federal mandate to register with the government to obtain an NPI (national provider identifier.) We are required by federal law to obtain and pay for a license to prescribe medication through the DEA, which is separate from our state licensure.

This heavy hand of government not only oversees the largest federal health bureaucracy ever created, but by extension reaches into every state, every city, and every small town to regulate how every licensed physician practices the art of medicine and how citizens obtain care.

The treatment is also clear.

The prescription for a cure was written into our constitution by our founders. Article V of our constitution allows for the states to call for a convention of states to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government through the proposal of constitutional amendments. Physicians should be the strongest supporters of this brilliantly-crafted states’ rights tool placed into our constitution by our founders.

I urge my fellow American physicians to join with me in supporting an Article V Convention of States to take back control of the practice of medicine. It’s the only way that we can return the practice of medicine back to the intimate relationship between a doctor and patient without interference by the heavy hand of a distant, national government.
