Hillsdale collage offers a free course in “Constitution 101″ I suggest you take it, because you obviously don’t understand the document in the slightest. For a quick synopsis, here is the gist of it in a nutshell; Article 1 Section 8 is the portion that covers the “Powers of Congress”. It’s about 430 words long, so a bit much to quote here in its entirety, but just Google “Article 1 Section 8” and read up, let me know when you find the part that gives congress the power to tell us to do anything.

Next is the 10th amendment which says… “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.” There is no delineated power that allows congress to compel us to do or buy anything, therefore Obamacare is unconstitutional. Why is that so difficult for progressives to understand? We the people own the government, not the other way around. Would you hire an employee to work for you, then let that employee dictate orders to you, even if it were for your own good?

You can play semantics and claim that the commerce clause grants congress this authority, or the comment in the preamble that says “promote the general welfare” but the founders were extremely explicit in their wording and their intent. Again the Hillsdale collage course mentioned above will guide you through the Federalist Papers which gives deep insight into what the founders intended and what they feared. It’s crap like Obamacare that would make Jefferson and Madison spin in their graves.

Thomas Jefferson once said… “Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” – This law is a prime example of the Tyrants will, and it infringes on the rights of everyone.

A number of well lettered folks at The College of Law in the Advanced Legal Studies Health Law Class analyzed and reviewed this law. The Law was reviewed and studied comparatively with regard to the current law and international Healthcare law. The law was also compared proactively with the current state of Healthcare law and the future of both plans were rigorously analyzed. The Affordable Care Act is a good Law. It is like any other law with its problems and challenges but like any law when thoroughly analyzed, its positives far outweighed the negatives.

I would like to know what you read and be more richly informed about your position. Please be specific citing section and page in your response as I would like to review and respond to your concerns. Thanks.

I have read the law and believe that it really favors the middle class. It was written in such hard legalese that I think only an objective healthcare attorney can explain it to the masses and cure this campaign of ignorance and calumny against it.
