Document Summary
Constitution does not establish a right to healthcare for all americans (people found his interpretation of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness problematic) Kind of attacks the idea of socialistic tendencies throughout the passage. Problem when he establishes an argument using the way that he gives whole foods employees their health insurance (could be considered generalizing too quickly) Another problem with claiming that every adult is in charge of their own health, which implies that everything is each person"s own fault. He starts attacking people that have self- inflicted healthcare problems like obesity, diabetes, etc. Start to question his motivation as an authority figure, this undercuts his argument. Some instances of combative language when talking about obamacare. Uses a very technical tone, makes references to tax code and other technical issues that don"t always come up when talking about something that is seemingly unrelated.
