Let us look at the facts!
Obama care proposes to create a federal insurance regulatory board to regulate insurance companies now regulated under State authority. In view of the fact that no authority has been granted to the federal government under our existing Constitution allowing the federal government to enter the various states and regulate the subject matter in question, every member of Congress voting in favor of Obama Care would be violating their oath of office and voting to usurp a power forbidden by our Constitution’s Tenth Amendment.
The irrefutable fact is, the People of the various States have not given their consent via Article V of our Constitution granting power to Congress to enter the States and regulate State created insurance companies. And, keep in mind that granting new powers to Congress under Article V of our Constitution requires consent of the people by the “Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof“ - - - not a simple majority vote in Congress which the Democrat party leadership and Obama is attempting to use to seize such power, and as such, is an unmistaken attempted act of tyranny!
Obama care also proposes to use federal taxing authority to tax the people in every state to increase Medicaid funding in every state. In addition, Obama’s plan would also provide extra funding to states that have expanded their Medicaid programs. But where in our Constitution has Congress been granted power to tax the economic resources away from the people in the various states in such a broad and encompassing manner and for the purpose of returning this very money for a subject matter not within Congress’s constitutionally authorized functions? Again, every member of Congress voting in favor of Obama Care is violating their oath of office and voting to usurp a power forbidden by our Constitution’s Tenth Amendment.
Obama care also proposes to use the force of federal taxation to provide subsidies for a privileged economic class in each of the various states so they may “buy” their own health insurance on the open market beyond what Obama care calls for. But what power has been granted to Congress allowing Congress to tax some of the people in some of the states to provide “subsidies” to a specific economic class in each state so they may buy their own health insurance?
Obama care also proposes to allow the federal government to enter the various states and fine individuals who do not buy health insurance. In addition, Obama Care also proposes to impose these federal fines on individuals based upon an economic class, which violates equal protection of the law. And, Obama care also proposes to have the federal government enter the various states an fine employees who don’t offer health insurance coverage, and again does so by an arbitrary class--- exempting businesses with 50 or fewer employees. But where in our Constitution has Congress been granted power to enter the various states and fine the residents therein who do not purchase health insurance, or require businesses therein to provide health insurance to their employees by threat of a fine? Once again, the unavoidable truth is, every member of Congress voting in favor of Obama Care is violating their oath of office and voting to usurp a power forbidden by our Constitution’s Tenth Amendment. They would in fact be engaging in an act of tyranny as the people have not consented to granting the necessary powers to Congress as outlined under Article V of our Constitution.
