Are Americans Allowed To Oppose Obamacare Health Care?

John Mackey is CEO of Whole Foods the 10th largest food and drug store in America.   Now unions are picketing and boycotting his stores.  This is because he wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal opposing Obamacare health care.  The union thugs are trying to suppress free speech.

Calls to boycott Whole Foods Market are growing louder and more sophisticated following the Wall Street Journal article. Members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 227 will hand out information to shoppers at the Shelbyville Road store from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., the union announced. Louisville union members plan to speak out against the Whole Foods CEO's views on health-care reform at the chain's Louisville store Wednesday.

All Mackey did was offer eight reforms for the health care system and outlined Whole Foods' employee health insurance policy.  Mackey argued that health care is not a right, noting that neither the Declaration of Independence nor the Constitution guarantees it. "While all of us empathize with those who are sick, how can we say that all people have more of an intrinsic right to health care than they have to food or shelter?" he wrote.

According to the article, Whole Foods pays 100 percent of the premiums, but not the deductibles, for all employees who work 30 hours or more per week, or about 89 percent of its workers, and gives each employee $1,800 per year in "health-care dollars" that can be used for health and wellness expenses.  This is a company that takes care of their employees.

Mackey's article is consistent with the views of dozens of doctors and business executives who have weighed in on the controversial bill.  Mackey's comments seem to have drawn a much harsher reaction and is being compared to an "organized campaign to defeat a single payer health insurance system."

Mackey did draw supporters on the company forum. One said they would start shopping at Whole Foods because of Mackey's article. A commenter identified as Guns & Liberty wrote that he will start shopping there to "support this man who understands the real needs of this country and it isn't paying for doctors for a bunch of lazy smelly hippies who need a bath."

America when did it become wrong for those of us with views opposing Obamacare health care to express those views?  The elitist progressive liberals with their union thugs will do anything to oppress free speech and stop opposition.
