ObamaCare Insurance Mandate Declared Un-Constitutional

Quote from zdreg:

"reasonable" you are assuming that a republican or mixed congress is capable of doing anything reasonable. eg. passing a billextending unemployment
for another year is not reasonable. they will become unhire-able and have no incentive to look for work except off the books.

reasonableness is not a criteria for the passage of legislation.

In using the word "reasonable", I am relating a new bill to ObamaCare. Practically anything is "reasonable" compared to that piece of tripe.

maybe. there is an old german saying:never wish for a new king. he may be worse than the old one.
I am sure u understand.
 
Personally, from my study of the Constitution:

1) Federally mandated Medicare is unconstitutional
2) Federally mandated Social Security is unconstitutional
3) Federally mandated Healthcare is unconstitutional
4) Federally mandated Auto Insurance is unconstitutional
5) Federally mandated Marriage/Civil Unions is unconstitutional

In our Constitution, the 10th amendment says that all powers that are not specified in the Constitution are reserved for the States. In other words, when the Constitutional doesn't allow the Federal Gov't to do something, the States are allowed to do it.

Thus, a State can, if allowed by their respective Constitutions, pass legislation mandating Healthcare, etc.
 
Quote from the1:

If the Supreme Court rules against the Government then the Government will turn around and collect more taxes from you and force you into a medical plan that way.

Like Medicare/Medicaid. Which would be the sane approach and where this is heading eventually, once the healthcare execs get their last few feasts at the trough.

The current system is horribly broken, and the obama proposal is absurd - government resources used to force the population to fund a private, for-profit insurance scheme. A private insurance model doesn't fit when nearly all policyholders are claimants, and where the service cannot be refused. It simply can't work. Once enough bonuses have been paid and enough options have vested, they'll have to yield to this reality.
