Specifically, the mandate portion requiring all Americans to have health insurance is unconstitutional. The Federal Government does not have this authority, because it is not enumerated in the Constitution. An amendment would have to be passed in order for this authority to exist. Otherwise, expect Obamacare to be challenged all the way [...]

KINSTON, N.C. — Voters in this small city decided overwhelmingly last year to do away with the party affiliation of candidates in local elections, but the Obama administration recently overruled the electorate and decided that equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democratic Party.

I suppose it makes it easier for Obama to claim that his healthcare policies are “revenue neutral” when the federal government just makes rules and expands healthcare services that it doesn’t fund then turns around and forces the states to pay for much of it out of groaning state budgets, but that [...]

Over the past few months, we have heard and read about Democrat leaders doing their typical “hey, let’s insult, demean, damage, and demonize yet another private entity” in regards to the health insurance industry. They tell us the private health insurance companies should be more like the selfless government run Medicare. Yeah, about that (via [...]

The New York Times is reporting that more than a dozen state legislatures are considering crafting constitutional amendments that will make it illegal to force every citizen to buy health insurance, a key part of Obama’s healthcare plan.

The constitutional prohibition was written to forbid the government endorsing one particular denomination as the true faith — which was the status of the “established” Church of England in Britain at the time. Nothing like that has ever been contemplated in America

Either scrap the mandate, amend the Constitution, or get the whole effort slapped down in a court challenge.
Politically, of course, the mandate is essential to winning insurance industry support for the legislation and acceptance of heavy federal regulations. Millions of new customers will be driven into insurance-company arms. Moreover, without the mandate, the entire thrust [...]
