Do YOU think the proposed health care bill violates the Constitution?

According to a health care expert, the health care plan currently being debated in the United States Senate (America’s Healthy Future Act) will fine Americans up to $1,900 if they do not purchase health insurance, and if they refuse to pay the fine, they can be thrown in jail for a year or fined $25,000. And the IRS would be the government agency coming after you to collect. Do you believe this plan violates the Constitution? Do you think this plan is good or bad and why?

Yes. You may read the bill here: http://finance.senate.gov/sitepages/leg/LEG%202009/091609%20Americas_Healthy_Future_Act.pdf

It has 223 pages and I don’t have time to read it, but I think the Contitution itself is less than 20 pages. I don’t trust the bill unless the men and women who serve in Congress are willing to be subject to it themselves.

I also really appreciate the answer of open4one. The Constitution was RATIFIED by individual states with individual delegates who were elected because of TRUST. In 1791, there WERE NO “Constitutional Attorneys.” I am a “people” and therefore qualified to participate in government according to the republic which is supposed to be what we currently have.

There is no professor at Harvard, Princeton, Yale, or any other school who gets any more votes than I do, which is one. I share the contention that our citizenry has become disconnected from our duties to our country. Our republic can only function as designed when the citizenry is “engaged” enough on issues to vote responsibly. What part of “We the people” do you not understand, folks?

I think we currently have FAR too many elected officials who have forgotten that THEY are there to serve US. We do not exist to be subject to them. Think about this next time you stand in line to buy license plates for your car—What is the attitude of your EMPLOYEE behind the counter?

I have a paperback copy of The Federalist Papers on my nightstand, and I have read most of them. If you’ve never heard of the Federalist Papers and call yourself American, you’re an uninformed citizen. Oh, and yes, according to the 10th ammendment, a federal health care bill is unconstitutional. For further information, read the Bill of Rights while we still have them.
