Is the current health-care reform bill constitutional?

Uh no. It's not. How can the government tell me that I am REQUIRED by law to BUY a third part service to ANYTHING? Not only that, but they get to decide if my family can or cannot pay for it, and if they deem that it is 'affordable' then I will be fined.

Does that really seem constitutional? Not to me....

No, it is not. It is not constitutional because they are going beyond Congress’s powers under the Constitution, such as its powers to tax and regulate interstate commerce, intrusive regulation of medicine, etc. It is unconstitutional to force the American people to purchase a commodity or face fines and jail time.

The Constitution has been denigrated and ignored since 1980. I have no idea if we can recover from what has been happening since then. Our country is owned by Banks and Industries and the Middle Class is disappearing. If nobody can afford health care, then many more of the middle class and the poor will die young or lose their homes. Then the richest , the CEO's and the Stock Market will be in absolute control....if they aren't already.

I agree with those who state it is NOT Constitutional. Why? Making individuals buy insurance merely because they are alive is a claim of power manipulates the commerce clause.

Article I of the Constitution~ "provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States." … How can some of the special deals be justified???… IE~ How does is it a benefit to all the states toexcuse one state from an increase in Medicare costs or allowing only the citizens ofone state to get complete benefits of Medicare Advantage?

 If states challenge this and enforce Article V of the Constitution that allows state legislatures the power to require Congress to convene a convention to propose an amendment to the Constitution~then I think this bill is over. Done. Finite.

It's not it is tyranny

NO it is NOT! See the above responses, they have explained far better than I could hope to.

Then the richest , the CEO's and the Stock Market will be in absolute control....if they aren't already.

You are right, they are already in control.  And some of them work in our government.  You handed them even more control with this bill.  Smooth.  They use you like a tool.

I agree with Crissy and grlygrlz. It's not constitutional.

Hopefully, my state will be able to protect me from the federal government.

Respectfully, HOW IS THAT RELEVANT?

I hardly think that matters.

The constitution is what the country was founded on, and THAT was a long time ago.
