This clause reveals the liberals' faulty premise. In truth, the point of the federal government is that it only exercise those powers explicitly delegated to it in the Constitution. Stealing money from some citizens (no matter how rich or evil), against their will, in order to give it to other citizens (no matter how nice or needy), or to pay their bills--that is not a power granted to the federal government in the Constitution. In fact, it is a form of involuntary servitude, which is prohibited in the Constitution. Yet this redistribution of wealth is the foundational tenet of the modern Democrat Party (since FDR).
The primary reason for the jump in Medicaid enrollment is that a change in the qualifications was included in the ObieCare bill. The same thing could have been accomlished with a one paragraph bill, and the remaining ObieCare funding could have used to increase Medicaid pay-out thereby not only saving billions, but actually improving the program’s quality of care and... most importantly... actually producing a net increase in the number of insured, something they haven’t accomplished so far.
