Prohibition was the law of the land, too. So was slavery.

I’ve put forth that idea in several replies to Obamacare threads, you’ve raised it to a vanity post.
If it hasn’t been killed before then, someone must mount a suit against Obamacare’s constitutionality on the basis of the Roe v. Wade precedent the moment the government does anything under the terms of the act that intrudes on their relationship with their physician, be it a reporting requirement or a denial of treatment. People forget that the “reasoning” such as it was in Roe was not about abortion per se but about government interference in the physician-patient relationship which the SCOTUS held was covered by the generalized “right of privacy” conjured out of constitutional “penumbrae”.
It could be tried sooner, but the old lack-of-standing trick would be applied to keep it from advancing.
I would think so. If the courts deem a woman’s right to abortion inherent based on privacy, I don’t see how the same government can demand to have access to our health records and dictate how and when we receive health care. Seems like a good approach to attack some of the intrusive aspects of the law.
There was an article posted here a couple years ago that sarcastically thanks Obama for taking the “right to privacy” argument out of the infanticide debate.
The Constitution means what obama and the dems tell you it means...
It was HIPAA(Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), passed in 1996, that protects private healthcare information.
Every time you go to a new healthcare provider they will ask to sign a HIPAA document.
Good question
