Health care reform. The most prominent issue that is not being covered is the unconstitutionality of Congress taking on health care reform on a federal level. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Does that sound familiar? Well, it should, because it is the Tenth Amendment.
Ask your politician if reforming health care on a federal level is constitutional. There is no affirmative answer to this, because the Constitution does not afford Congress this right. Therefore–whether for or against health care reform–that reform which is vital to the individual should be taken up at the State level, where the rights lay.
Very interesting. Learning a bit more about politics. With the rising cost of EVERYTHING to include health care, I hope they can resolve to at least find a way to make some things a bit more affordable. I don’t like the idea of penalizing people for not having health insurance. Right now I can not afford my employers insurance and I had a recent emergency room visit. The bills I have received so far are almost $3,000. Even if I had my companies health plan I would still have to pay the entire bill because of the $3500 deductible and even after that I don;t really know how much more they would cover.
