Senator Bernie Sanders is ready to make socialist healthcare a reality -- and he believes that goal is within reach.
Speaking to a crowd of Democrats, he assured his supporters that he'll be picked to lead a powerful Senate committee on health if the Dems can win the Senate.
“If the Democrats gain control of the Senate, you’re looking at the chairman of the Subcommittee on Health,” he said to cheers, according to The Daily Signal.
We don't need to tell you how disastrous Medicare-for-All would be for our country. If the same government that's in charge of the VA were in charge of healthcare for all Americans, it's easy to imagine the result.
Higher taxes, worse care, and longer wait times would all be in our future. But the worst part would be the loss of self-governance. Rather than be empowered to make their own healthcare decisions, Americans would be forced to follow the government's agenda -- or go without healthcare altogether.
This upcoming election is important, but what if there was a solution that kept us from worrying about a massive socialist takeover every two and four years? What if we had a way to build an impenetrable firewall against socialist policies like Medicare-for-All?
Well, there is. An Article V Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can forever prohibit socialist policies by limiting the power of the federal government, shrinking federal jurisdiction, and ending many federal bureaucracies.
If, for example, a Convention of States passed (and the states ratified) an amendments clarifying the General Welfare clause, the federal government would only be allowed to legislate on the narrow set of topics expressly mentioned in the Constitution. All other areas -- including healthcare -- would be left up to the states.
One man in Washington shouldn't have the power to dictate healthcare for the entire country. Those decisions should be made by American families, and a Convention of States gives them the right to reassert their self-governance and eliminate the threat of socialism for future generations.
