Boehner: Health Care Takeover is Unconstitutional

BOEHNER: "But its not just, Mr. President, the taxes or the Medicare cuts. You've got the individual mandate in here which I think is unwise and I do believe is unconstitutional. You've got an employer mandate in here that says that employers you've got to provide health insurance to the American people or you're going to pay this tax. Its going to drive up the cost of employment at a time when we have over 10 percent or near 10 percent unemployment in America."

Find for me in Article 1, Section 8 where Congress is given the authority to do this. Then read amendment 10 that describes what happens when something is not on that list in Article 1, Section 8.

Absolutely UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!

To prove it wait to see how many lawsuits will arise when the government forces people to get health insurance.

It is the insurances that everybody is getting as well as the unions that have destroyed the USA.

Maybe there is hope and change coming.

If it is unconstitutional, the states shouldn't wait for the federal government to agree on that, because the feds will just pretend they're God Almighty. Nullify the POS. Nullify Nullify Nullify and don't dick around.

Right Wing/Left Wing, those titles mean nothing today, this is now a battle between globalists vs. constitutionalists.

Revtodd....states mandate car insurance...not the feds. They have the right if their constitution says they can. In case you didn't know, the feds only have the power outlined in the US Constitution...the rest are reserved for the individual states and the people.

Thudmother.....the fed only prints money when the fed gov't runs a deficit and can't borrow the money to pay it's bills. Obama has the greatest red ink of any prez. Go ahead and vote for him again...that will really show your patriotism. I won't even respond to your 9/11 statement.

[thudmother]

Here you got Boehner talking about what is constitutional about health care, and he's a moron. Let there be public health care, because what we have now is much worse. I should know, I work in the ER. We pay for it anyway as it is right now, so not much will change there. We have bigger problems like a Federal Reserve who prints money to no end devaluing our currency, 9/11 was an inside job, and we are running around being an imperialistic nation.

@theMETALDOVE All that and more! However, BHO is no joking matter. The man is a Marxist, and he's riding the crest of a wave no American could ever have imagined! We are...or have been, a nation of fools. Apathy has been our middle name, and now we are paying. There is a swelling of patriotism growing among us, so perhaps we have a chance. REVOLUTION may be the only way. I'm there...how 'bout the rest of you

...except for the wussy ME GENERATION, of course...

@thudmother I'm afraid it's YOU who doesn't "get it," Thud. So again, what's your point?

[theMETALDOVE]

@19patriot43

the bill is crap/.

not even socialist crap. just crap. increased premiums, increases debt, rationed care, doctor shortages and 37 new taxes.

fed revenue is at all time low, unemployment holding at 10%, record amnt of foreclosures coming, debt all time high and our deficits are scaring the s&#@% out of the chinese.

wasn't obama gonna focus like a laser on the deficit.?

what about his blue ribbon panel about the economy?

I GOT IT! obama is add. he just needs some ritalin.

@19patriot43 - that's a JOKE.. let me 'splain it for ya: during pregnancy, the head of the fetus is down toward the cervix. When my old man was gettin' busy with my mom, guess how it felt on my head?

You right-wingers have NO sense of humor. Case and point.
