What do I mean by "We do not need their help or permission to create change" in healthcare?

The current political climate is entirely without integrity. There is no openness, no real effort at multipartisanship, a constant string of "emergencies" which require 1000+ page pieces of cryptic legislation to pass without delay, debate, or even time to read them. When "Cap & Trade" was passed in the House, not only had it not been read by the majority voting on it, when one representative asked the House Secretary, he found that a complete draft did not even exist at the time of the vote. No proposal for any emergency considers options which decrease the size and scope of the agencies and private firms who caused the situations in the first place. There is no chance, zero, that real health care "reform" will even be debated in this climate, let alone pass. This an endemic problem, not limited to the current Democratic majority.

But there are many options to improving health care which can happen closer to home than the Federal government. Under the Constitution, the Federal government has no authority over the issue in the first place. Change can happen at state governments, local governments, and it can happen among private citizens in their own communities. As these changes develop and take hold, we push the Federal government to get out of the way, retract old, failed legislation, and eliminate failed programs. We do not ask them to "take over" or to solve the problem, just stand clear of solutions developed lower down. We do not ask their permission: the states have all the authority needed to implement their own programs and override Unconstitutional Federal mandates.
