On Monday, I went to a Town Hall meeting where I approached my State Senator, Doug Berger (D), about my North Carolina Health Care Freedom Act. (sketchup posted below) What I am bringing him, in the midst of these Democrat-heavy ObamaCare Town Hall meetings, is a Conservative plan which costs a fraction of the Democrats plan, but actually provides universal coverage.
After reading the first line of what I had handed him (posted below word for word) his first comment was, "Well that's fine Mr. Bradley except I heard you want to legalize drugs."
I told him we were talking about health care, and where did this nonsense about drugs come from? He spoke of having found my statement online supporting legalizing industrial hemp production, "and isn't hemp related to marijuana? why can't you just be honest about your position? You want to legalize crack and cocaine so everybody can get it don't you"
I told him I'd be glad to discuss my position on the war on drugs in a more relevant setting, and that the Industrial Hemp Act would save our tobacco farmers and provide hundreds if not thousands of green jobs to North Carolina, that hemp was not a drug, and that unlike corn oil, hemp oil actually works as a biofuel.
He then accused me of trying to steal everybody's money and give it to the HMO's, whereupon I pointed out that restricting HSA debits to doctors only would cut out the HMO's; and he went back to trying to paint me as a crazed druggie legalizer again. He said, "aren't all you Ron Paul people like that, you libertarians?"
I said, "Sir, I am a Constitutionalist."
I actually buried the Senator in the exchange, but only like 4 or 6 people actually saw it. Most of whom were union activists.
I decided not to stick around, and on the way out ran into Representative Lucy Allen, who i am running against. Turns out she has been researching me also, except that conversation was far more cordial. I am guessing Berger tried to goad me into distraction to help his compatriot in the House. Instead he made himself look foolish, and when I ran into Representative Allen, I was far more on my guard than I would have been otherwise.
The whole thing was a net plus. But I found it fascinating that Senator Berger was trying to conflate my support for the Industrial Hemp Farming Act as being equivalent to wanting to legalize crack cocaine and crystal meth for children and infants lol.
Now I wish I was running against Berger instead of Allen -- Berger would be simple to obliterate in direct debate.
North Carolina Health Care Freedom Act:
1) Will make it a violation of State Law for a government employed bureaucrat to suggest health care decisions.
2) Will allow citizens to purchase insurance from out of state
3) Will allow citizens to come together in voluntary organizations and purchase insurance with group negotiation powers.
4) Establishes and seeds a tax-sheltered Health Savings Account with $500 that is repaid over 5 years.
5) Mandates that only a licensed medical practice has the power to debit from a HSA.
6) Authorizes the HSA to mature to cash in 10 years, encouraging savings.
7) Creates a voluntary withholding line item for all NC Citizens to a fund for free clinics to recoup treatment expenses.
