Freedom is defined as the absence of coercion or constraint in choice or action and liberation from the power of another. It is what so many American men and woman have died fighting to defend. Yet American leadership is moving toward greater bondage, creating, what could be called, a prison in our country by imposing what is thought to be the best community plan. Unfortunately, this leads to Americans freedom dieing a slow death as attempts are made to suffocate them through this new health care revolution.

One American asks How is it that one of our country's founding documents is the Declaration of Independence and now we are allowing ourselves to affirm our reliance on our government and chief? Obama's new health care revolution offers many benefits that Americans have never wanted nor opted to pay for. It allows governmental administration to decide the rate and the synopsis of benefits without consulting the actual people it would cover; not quite by the people and for the people.

The proposed community rating means that all people would have the same insurance rate regardless of lifestyle choices. No longer would the choice for a healthy existence be beneficial. A one size fits all type plan where Americans relinquish their demand for choice having no Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO), Health Savings Account (HAS), nor a capitalistic economy which now exists for senior Medicare supplements. The intentions of this plan stand in question as speculation is made on Obama responding with a yes to the preliminary health questions on tobacco use.

In light of his dialogue with students, some might dispute the need to make young people conscious of the toil they will face as they move from adolescence to adulthood. According to Forbes magazine college graduates will walk away from his or her university with a minimum of $20 thousand in dept and an yearly income of $30 thousand. In today's market, that is not exactly guidelines for success.

Obama is asking young Americans to take ownership of his or her education and with the same breath, it seems, making a decision that will control their future. Obama will demand that young people pay more into the health care plan while making less. While older Americans will make more and pay significantly less for a program they make more use of.

Who is Obama thinking of when delivering this revolutionary health care plan? One may think of the elderly and sick patients. Unfortunately these are not benefiting from the loss of their freedom either. When Americans give up the right to choose, they also give the right to doctors to decide which patient is more valuable, perhaps pushing sick patients to the back of the line since they are viewed as having nothing left to contribute to the greater society.

Some have coined the phrase of Americans Endangered Freedoms as we gradually let government decisions cut away our sovereignty over personal life choices. This Health Care Revolution will state how Americans hard-earned income or retirement is used. It will choose the health care provider, the health care plan, the deductible paid and even the doctor seen.

Maybe in hearing this ones mind may drift to another time when a people dressed in uniforms, raised his or her right arm and declared Hail Obama? Is this the American way paved for future generations? Perhaps Americans should bestow more credit to their own minds and decide what is best for their individual needs? If not, American freedoms could become extinct.
