Heath Care Bill....Unconstitutional

Florida judge ruled the recent Health Care Bill, Unconstitutional. Obamacare, nicknamed by many, has been at the top of the list of controversy. The mandate, that was even more controversial than the whole bill in general, will force Americans to have health insurance. The government cannot, constitutionally, force a citizen to get or do anything. However, there is a clause called the Commerce Clause that can force something upon a citizen based off of activity. For example, if you have your license and drive a motor vehicle you must buy car insurance, because it was your choice to get your license and drive. The Commerce Clause however does not cover the Health Care Law because not having health insurance and not doing anything about it is inactivity. It is expected that the Health Care Bill will make its way up to the Supreme Court, which it has been expected to be ruled as unconstitutional. I myself am hoping it is ruled as unconstitutional. The Health Care Bill should be repealed and needs more work in order to serve American citizens better. A public option should be added to this bill in order for it to serve a more positive purpose.


God Bless,
