Just how mistaken Senator Rand Paul proves himself to be

Senator Rand Paul is potentially a traitor to this country.  By rights, he should be removed from office.

What did he do that is so wrong? Rand Paul is introducing a Bill in the Senate which will allow for or even bring devastating results to our country.  His bill was written to protect the interests of those entities who are currently in violation of anti-trust law.  What his bill would do is shield those entities from any liability should they ever be found in violation of anti-trust law.  That is flat out wrong.

And just who is his law designed to benefit?  His law would exempt health care providers from anti-trust action.

Currently the black letter law as it stands forbids price-fixing, collusion, and differential billing–all actions done daily by the health care industry in all its facets with impunity.

They get away with it because for at least 30 years no one has been enforcing the 15 USC Chapter 1.  The Sherman and Clayton Anti-trust Acts of over 100 years ago have not been enforced against the health care industry.  They must be!

Remember, “Where there is no penalty, there is no law.”

That is why medical costs have gone up in price far faster than inflation.  It is these costs which will collapse the economy of the United States very soon unless they are not only contained but reversed and brought down to what they should be.  It is estimated that if these laws were to be enforced today, that would cut medical costs across the board by 85%.  That would bring them down to a manageable cost for the private consumer, such that costly insurance and high deductibles would no longer be necessary.

Senator Rand Paul, in my careful judgment, demonstrates he has been “bought and paid for” by the medical and pharmaceutical industry, and is not acting in the interest of “we the people.”  He needs to be labeled for what he is or has become–an utter traitor to the American people.

Since when is it right on Senator Rand Paul’s part to sneak in such a detrimental bill to the Senate during these first days of the brand new Trump presidency, when all attention is directed towards the actions of President Trump, and no one will notice, and no coverage in the news will highlight this action by Rand Paul?

News about this terrible move by Senator Rand Paul needs to be spread widely.  He would better spend his time helping this country get out of debt, rather than insuring that this debt will continue to grow until we face certain economic collapse.  I have not laced this post with supporting Scripture, but many passages of Scripture condemn this action by Senator Rand Paul.  God requires just weights and balances (Leviticus 19:36), for a starter.  Charging what the market will bear, and charging differential prices at that, surely violates this Biblical principle. Rand Paul’s bill is called “Anti-trust Reform for Health Care,” and like many bills named in Congress of late, the title proclaims the very opposite of what the bill is intended to do.

What we need is a simple, one page Bill that stipulates that any law which has no penalty is invalid;  any law with a penalty must be enforced and the penalty duly applied to all violators.
