Why the Health Care Reform Bill is Unconstitutional

Watch this liberal politician show just how ignorant she is on constitutional law.




Her answer: "where in the constitution does it say we can mandate social security and Medicare".

Actually... the Supreme Court DID rule those unconstitutional. It wasn't until the FDR administration threatened the Supreme Court (funny how... liberal presidents seem to do that a lot) and changed the legislation from "insurance" (Medicare) and "trust fund" (social security) to a "tax" that it was ruled constitutional. Congress has the constitutional power to levy taxes, you see. My follow up question to her would have been "so is it your position that the mandate is a tax?" She would have scrambled on that question too... remember the no tax for middle class or poor promise?

In actuality... the Health Reform mandate isn't the least bit comparable to SS or Medicare. Those fees are collected by the federal government. The government is trying to MANDATE that every citizen of this country enter into a contract with a third party... non-government private company to buy insurance. That has never been done and and is absolutely 100% unconstitutional. Unless "tax" now means private companies can now tax us instead of just the government.



Some people try to claim "but vehicle insurance is mandated!!!", but that is not the same thing at all.

1. You do not HAVE to buy vehicle insurance unless you want a government issued drivers license. A person could go their whole lives without having to buy car insurance.

2. Vehicle insurance mandates are passed and enforced at the state government level. The constitution says "those powers not enumerated here" are entrusted to the states.

3. The roads belong to the government so if you wish to use them with motor vehicles, you must have a drivers license. Are we going to have licenses for hospital visits now too?

4. Furthermore, the IRS (a federal agency) will not come after you if you do not have car insurance.
