Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]

Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

[JustPiper]

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Fourteen States Have Filed Lawsuits

On Tuesday, Virginia’s attorney general Ken Cuccinelli filed a lawsuit challenging the health care bill. Thirteen other states have banded together to file a lawsuit — Florida, South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Michigan, Utah, Pennsylvania, Alabama, South Dakota, Louisiana, Idaho, Washington and Colorado. Those thirteen attorneys general are mostly Republicans, but one is a Democrat. Their spokesperson is the very personable Bill McCollum of Florida.

At issue will be whether Congress has the power to treat as “interstate commerce” the actions of a citizen who hasn’t purchased anything, and whether Congress has the authority to order citizens to buy any product:

“Never in this nation’s history has the commerce power been used to require a person who does nothing, to engage in economic activity,” said Professor Randy Barnett of Georgetown University Law Center.

Mandating that all Americans purchase health insurance is akin to “requir[ing] every American to buy a new Chevy Impala every year,” to help the automobile industry, Barnett said.

More to the point, large numbers of Americans do not choose traditional health care. Many use alternative modalities, and many rely on prayer. So forcing them to buy traditional health insurance is like forcing people who only drink tea to buy a coffee pot.

From your linked article on Rush

Limbaugh said Obama is getting what he wanted – a complete makeover of the U.S. into a country with bureaucratic control over individual lives.

This video from one year ago sums up Lord Obama very nicely.
