CONSTITUTIONALLY SPEAKING, THERE CAN BE NO GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE INSURANCE MANDATE
CONSTITUTIONALLY SPEAKING, THERE CAN BE
NO GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE
INSURANCE MANDATE
In 1935 the Supreme Court emphatically ruled that Congress did not possess any constitutional authority to create either a voluntary or mandatory government benefits program like a National Health Care insurance mandate, or, for that matter, like the social security system, and consequently, the U.S. government cannot lawfully under the U.S. Constitution, compel any American Citizen to participate in any benefits, retirement, “insurance”, National Health Care, or welfare program. The specific language of the Court’s ruling reads:
"The catalogue of means and actions which might be imposed upon an employer in any business, tending to the satisfaction and comfort of his employees, seems endless. Provision for free medical assistance, nursing, clothing, food, housing, and education of children, and a hundred other matters might with equal propriety be proposed as tending to relieve the employee of mental strain and worry. Can it fairly be said that the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce extends to the prescription of any or all of these things? It is not apparent that they are really and essentially related solely to the social welfare of the worker,and therefore remote from any regulation of commerce as such? We think the answer is plain. These matters obviously lie outside the orbit of congressional power." Railroad Retirement Board v. Alton Railroad Co, 295 U.S.330, 55 S. Ct.758 (1935) (emphasis added)
Anything “outside the orbit of congressional power” isobviously NOT a power legitimately possessed by Congress to exercise,
NOT then, in 1935,ANDNOT NOW, in 2009,
BECAUSE THE SUPREME COURT SAYS THAT IT IS NOT AN
ENUMERATED POWER UNDER THE CONSTITUTION!!!
THERE CAN BE NO FEDERAL HEALTH CAREMANDATE OR TAX IN AMERICA
BECAUSE, IT’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!
Now let’s put an end to all the nonsenseon the other sideof this argument as well. These IDIOTS claiming that “interstate commerce” is the legitimate basis for this “program”ANDTAX,AREALLBLATANTLY LYINGTO YOU,and they must think we are all idiots.
First, if I refuse to buy ANYhealth insurance at all, where is the interstate commerce to tax? THERE IS NO COMMERCE AT ALLWHEN I REFUSE TO BUY A PRODUCT, interstate or otherwise. There is no legitimate basis for federal tax found in theinterstate commerce clause when I refuse to buya product or service,because there is no commerce at all.
Next, doesn’t federal law prohibitAmericans from buying their health insurance from outside of their own state? So, in the arena of health insurance,interstate commerce DOES NOT EXISTBECAUSE CONGRESS HASMADE IT ILLEGAL. So the next time some idiot says “interstate commerce” is the constitutional basis for the new health care law, JUSTPOINT THESE FACTS OUT ANDTELL THEM THAT THEY AREAN IDIOT! There isnointerstate commerce to tax and the Supreme Court SAID SO!
So, if Congress increased competition and made it legal to buy health insurance across state lines, THEN they could tax THOSE PEOPLE WHO CHOSE TO DO SO, i.e.: the actual interstate commerce that did occur.
END OF STORY
END OF POWER
