Constitutionality; Individual Mandate; Health Insurance: Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals


Obama Care is being argued in federal court on its constitutionality, on whether or not congress has the constitutional authority to compel people to buy a product sold by a certain industry. Of course they do not, but that will be up to the court to decide. Why will it be up to them? Because in this country we live by a thing called 'the rule of law", and the day that we do not is the day that we are no better than banana republic. OK, you got me on that one, because we have already not lived up to the rule of law, for example, when Bush bailed out the auto industry without congressional approval, illegally using the TARP (bank bailout money) to do it. But the difference, in my defense, is that it was not challenged. Without a challenge to an illegal act, it is in a way not illegal, as was the case involving the Tyrant's of Bush and Obama bailing out the auto industry. I could go on about the illegal auto industry bailout, about how Obama, by the nod of his head, deprived the secured bond holders of the auto companies what was legally theirs, and then gave it to the auto unions, but that is in another video I made at the time, so I will get back to the "crime" at hand. If you listen to the entire argument, and if you're a traditionalist as I am, then you will realize just how far the commerce clause of the constitution has been stretched. They discuss things that will blow your mind (not in the part I uploaded), about the powers that the federal government has over our <b>...</b>

Charles Krauthammer: "Newt Gingrich Is Done"


On tonight's Special Report, political contributor Charles Krauthammer gave his take on presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich's future as a candidate. This follows contradictory statements made by Gingrich on the individual health care mandate, as well as a vocal lack of support for Republican Paul Ryan's (R-WI) alternative plan. Krauthammer told Bret Baier that Gingrich "didn't have a big chance from the beginning, but now it's over."

The Consitutionality of the Individual Mandate


Since the Affordable Care Act was passed, numerous lawsuits have been filed arguing that the federal mandate that individuals obtain health insurance is unconstitutional. Three appeals courts have issued mixed rulings, and the matter will probably ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. In this video roundtable, Wendy Mariner moderates a discussion between legal scholars Jack Balkin and Ilya Somin focusing on the relevant constitutional issues.

Gingrich Supports 'Variation' on Obamacare-Type Health Insurance Mandate


Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R.-Ga.) said on NBC's "Meet the Press" yesterday that he supports requiring all individuals to buy health insurance, post a bond to pay for health care, "or in some way you indicate you're going to be held accountable"--a position he called a "variation" on the type of individual mandate included in President Barack Obama's health-care reform law.

The problem with ObamaCare's individual mandate


David Rivkin delivered the opening keynote address at The Cato Institute's "The New Health Care Law: What a Difference a Year Makes" policy conference. Rivkin discussed how the Commerce Clause does not apply to ObamaCare's individual mandate, noting that it violates fundamental principles in the US Constitution and centuries of precedent case law. He claims that the individual mandate is "the single most unconstitutional piece of statute language in our history" because allowing the government to regulate economic inactivity would allow for federal intervention in virtually every kind of market imaginable.

RNs and Obama Say NO to Forced Health INSURANCE!


"Some folks who said that it's not possible to provide universal health care coverage unless there's a mandate._ Their essential argument is the only way to get everybody covered is if the government forces you to buy health insurance. If you don't buy it, then you'll be penalized in some way....The reason people don't have health insurance is because they can't afford it." In the Feb. 21, 2008, debate with Hillary Clinton, then-Sen. Obama stated plainly,- " Massachusetts has a mandate right now. They have exempted 20 percent of the uninsured because they have concluded that that 20 percent can't afford it. In some cases, there are people who are paying fines and still can't afford it, so now they're worse off than they were. They don't have health insurance and they're paying a fine." President Obama should heed his own words and block an individual mandate from being part of any health care reform. Otherwise, in his words, the people he is claiming to help will end up worse off than they were. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Significantly, in Massachusetts, where an individual-mandate health reform law, much like what President Obama is proposing on a national scale, was passed in 2006, at least 352000 people, or 5.5 percent of the population, remained uninsured in 2008. That number was actually (but non-significantly) higher than the number of uninsured in 2007, before strict enforcement of <b>...</b>

Among them, Rachel examines Newt's hypocrisy as a Freddie Mac "historian" and health care "individual mandate" advocate. Be on the lookout for an iconic moment from the movie, "A Christmas Story."

Will the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment Sink Obamacare?


"If you're going to take away liberty and property, there has to be some sort of due process involved," says Chris Littleton, the head of Ohioans for Healthcare Freedom and a Tea Party leader in the Buckeye state. "In this case, as citizens, we feel that those things are fundamentally inhibited and we want the Supreme Court to hear our case on this." Littleton's group is pushing an upcoming ballot initiative that would amend the state constitution to prevent citizens' involuntary participation in any health-insurance system. The US Supreme Court is widely expected to issue a ruling on the constituationality of what's known as the "individual mandate" in Obamacare and Littelton thinks passage of the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment will give his state unique legal standing: "This is citizen-initiated, which is very unique. If it passes, Ohio will be the only state that's done something like that." While most challenges to the individual mandate revolve around the limits of Congress' commerce clause powers, Littleton believes the amendment will activate due process and 10th Amendment considerations. Littleton sat down with Reason.tv's Nick Gillespie to discuss the Healthcare Freedom Amendment and the similarities between the Occupy Movement and the Tea Party. "I sympathize with the Occupy people...They're sensing that the system is broken," explains Littleton. "But it seems their answer to things is the confiscation of wealth...where [the Tea Party] advocates for <b>...</b>

Obamacare and Your Freedom


The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has set forth an individual mandate that requires all Americans to have health insurance. The justification for the law rests on the idea developed since the New Deal in the 1930s that any economic activity an individual engages in could impact the national economy and therefore can be regulated by the Federal Government based on its powers granted by the Commerce Clause in the Constitution. Up to this point, the Federal Government only regulated individuals if they actually engaged in economic activity. Now with the Individual Mandate, some in the Federal Government are arguing that because an American exists, that person could impact the economy and therefore can be regulated and ordered to purchase health care. The potential for such a policy to be abused is tremendous, and it leaves many wondering if Americans are truly free if their government can require them to buy something simply because they exist.
