[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 704134, member: 4886"] Here's my point, the US Constitution severely limits the authority of the US Government Amendment X 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. The closest portion of the US Constitution that would cover health care is the interstate commerce clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). The clause states that the United States Congress shall have power "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes". Some people may argue the preamble has to do with healthcare. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[1] promote the general Welfare," Due to the Preamble's limited nature, no court has ever utilized it as a decisive factor in case adjudication. Also, going back to the commerce clause. Part of the law states you have to get insurance or be penalized. Even if interstate commerce clause were the reason giving the federal government the power to make this law. How can this be used, when it forces people to buy insurance who don't want any insurance or be fined. Commerce means a transaction of goods and\or services. How can the government interfere based on this, when people don't want insurance and don't want to purchase it? [/QUOTE]
