Supreme Court Ready to Violate the Constitution Again With Obamacare Ruling
Everyone is waiting with bated breath on SCOTUS decision on the Affordable Health Care AKA Obama care. AHC was the brainchild, for a lack of a better term, of the conservative lobbying group the Heritage Foundation. AHC was the result of preventing a European-type single payer health care in the 80s. According to the Heritage Foundation:
Many states now require passengers in automobiles to wear seat belts for their own protection. Many others require anybody driving a car to have liability insurance. But neither the federal government nor any state requires all households to protect themselves from the potentially catastrophic costs of a serious accident or illness. Under the Heritage plan, there would be such a requirement.
in 1993, this bill was endorsed by 20 Republicans and was introduced by House Majority Leader Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole who was senate majority leader. In 2003, Senator Ron Wyden introduced the Healthy Americans Act, an individual mandate, approved by 80 fellow senators on both the Democratic and Republican members. Today? Republicans are screaming the individual mandate is unconstitutional
huh? Yet let say it is. Lets say that the SCOTUS says that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and the Obama administration refuses to remove it. What then, contempt of court?
