If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Obama Care, Robert Reich, Advisor to the President

In 2007, Robert Reich said this about what government run health care would do:

–Young and healthy people will have to pay more;
–The old will be denied various drugs and technology: “we are,” Reich said to a round of applause, “going to let you die.”
–The government will pressure drug companies and the medical establishment to bring costs down, with the result that there would be less medical innovation and fewer new drugs in the future. Probably, you will not live longer than your parents as most generations in that past could reasonably have hoped to do: get used to it.
