As I said before, a public hospital must treat you when you come in to the ER. A private hospital obviously does not. I do not know anything about your specific case and will not presume to, but I will say again, a public ER must treat you.
Also, lack of a basic check-up is not a lack of healthcare in my opinion.
This was going on well before any "mooooooslem" boogeyman. I disagree that the NSA is wrong to do this and I think that it provides a vital national security tool. The recorded calls are not acted upon unless you are plotting some terrorist act, and even then, if you are a US citizen you will get your say in a court of law, so what is the problem? And I am not sure what the NSA tapping calls has to do with the poor...
I think that there should not be amendment banning the burning of the flag, but I still favor McCain on other positions as opposed to the alternative (be it Obama or Hillary).
12 million people here legally are not citizens, and are not being detained under these laws. This example is not valid in my view.
If a US citizen was picked up on the battlefield in Afghanistan or has been funneling money to terror groups then there is an obvious problem. Further, this falls under treason anyway, and you automatically forfeit all your rights under law when you engage in acts of this kind.
We can debate your points of "de facto" all day long. I get what you are saying, however the mainstream media does not put it this way. People scream about rights that they have "lost", but when it comes down to it they have not actually lost any. Fact is, there is no "de facto", all United States citizens retain the right of habeus corpus, but the new media would lead you to believe other wise.
