Though President has quintessential rights Congress Doesn't in regard to Obamacare
I have been searching for the ruling and the comments made by the judges but wasn' able to find it again. Paraphased one of the comments by the judges went something like this:"Though the President has the Quintessential authority of the Executive Branch to make edicts like this, the U.S. Congress does not have the right to require every citizen buy insurance from cradle to the grave.
My wife was speaking to me about this issue in regards to state's rights. Paraphrased, "For example" she said, "a state has the right to require it's citizens to have insurance if they are going to drive a car, truck, motorcycle or to fly a plane. Why is it different to require a citizen to have insurance so he or she doesn't become a permanent medical liability to any one state and to the Federal Government throughout the remainder of their lives"?
I thought this was a very good question.
Because driving is a privilege regulated by the State. You don't have to drive. If you choose to drive you must abide by the regulations imposed bt the States, e.g.tests, insurance, etc... The only way to avoid the penalties imposed by Obamacare is to buy the insurance or commit suicide.
ReplyDeleteYes. That is probably true. But how does the state separate itself from infinite liability of someone who does not have any medical insurance when they get drunk and walk in front of a moving truck?
