SUBJECT: Open for discussion once again
Submitted by
Harumph #11038 from OHIO on
Government mandate on purchase of healthcare.
2K fine or 2% of your income if you don't purchase a 'government' approved plan.
Constitutional or not?
What say you?
I say it isn't.
Folks have used car insurance mandates as an example of why it is...
Not the same, if you don't own/drive a car then you are not required to purchase car insurance...

Bucket from OKLAHOMA says OH HELL NO it ain't constitutional, homey!
How many state Attorney Generals are already drawing up the paperwork to sue if this shixt is passed?
-
HB #10313 from INDIANA says Not even in the ballpark...
Unconstitutional is putting it mildly.... but it will be a long, drawn out affair to overturn it if the bill passes.
It certainly sets a lot of precedents, as well as violates the spirit and words of the Constitution. Apparently, this is OK for the left.
These words from the Declaration are as true today as they were back in the day....
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
The tipping point is coming, and none too soon.

Eric-Maine (65.82.134.9) from FLORIDA says There is very little that the federal government does
that is constitutional. That is why the small stuff was important before and the reason for my total disdain for progressive republicans.
Now the attitude is so what?
-
RickK (204.108.0.11) from VIRGINIA says Stand with the Virginians!
Just like Jackson stood at Manassas "like a stone wall" we've already informed the Federal government via our Commonwealth Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, that we not stand for this outrage! We will stand undaunted, like Jackson!
Join us, or cower back to your hovels!
