Constitution of Hospitals & Asylums Non-Governmental Economy (CHANGE)

 

Hospitals & Asylums (HA) was created in 2000 and 2011 is the Bicentennial.  The history of HA dates to the Naval Hospital Act of Feb. 26, 1811.  Since 1924, when the U.S. Civil Code was adopted, Hospitals & Asylums has been codified at Title 24.   The positive law, only a 50 page insert, has been dormant until people are ready to lay down their propaganda for war and be true to the ideals of the revolution.  Citizens are informed of the right to write Hospitals & Asylums above the title of their essay, name and email address and submit them to the Secretary for publication.  Essays must temper scientific method with the morality of health theology, in pursuit of eternal life.  Properly filed essays shall cite the HA statute.  The economic laws of supply of demand, diminishing returns, fair wages, balanced budget, trade balance and currency appreciation, regulate a free market.  When everyone has fulfilled their responsibilities everyone will enjoy their rights and freedoms.  To be efficient HA codifies the largest and most comprehensive government reform package in the history of both the United States and United Nations.  Human rights and a ten-year halfway house plan are promoted in two civil rights amendments; Annotated U.S. Constitution and U.N. Charter Legitimate Edition.  Your patronage is appreciated; be an author, subscribe or Donate.

This contribution was augmented by all fines imposed upon persons of the Navy and was the principal source of monies for the Naval Hospital Fund/Pension Fund. The Pension Fund also received all money accruing from the sale of prizes of war. For nearly 100 years these monies funded the Naval Home.  In 1934, the Pension Fund was abolished by Congress and the proceeds were deposited into the U.S. Treasury. From 1935 until 1991, the Naval Home was funded by Navy appropriations. Today, it is funded by monthly withholding from active duty troops, fines and forfeitures, interest off the Trust Fund and resident fees…1623
