IT IS A DISGRACE TO OUR
CONSTITUTION!
EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS
WHO VOTES FOR OBAMACARE WILL BREAK HIS OATH OF OFFICE!!
A retired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire proposed health care
bill. Read his conclusions and pass this on as you wish. This is stunning!
The Truth About the Health Care Bills - Michael Connelly, Ret.
Constitutional Attorney
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill
3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with
particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was
frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed
might be unconstitutional.
What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.
To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications
is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The
law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior
citizens and other classes of citizens are involved,freehealth care for illegal
immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in
abortions by members of the medical profession.
The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of
business, and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about
personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and
most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments
to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly
controlled by the government.
However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact,
I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing
affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the
most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has
ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is
adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively
have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power
between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S.
Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration
authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American
people, and the businesses they own.
The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any authorityto legislate in
most of those areas to begin with! I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S.
Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to
regulate health care.
This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama
administration, of all of your personal healthcaredirect violation of the
specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution information,
your personal financial information, and the information of your employer,
physician, and hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable
searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That
will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th
Amendmentsmay provide.
If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private
insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator
appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a tax
instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due
process clause of the 5th Amendment. However , that doesn't work because
since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the
imposition of the tax,it is definitely depriving someone of property without
the due process of law.
So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so
much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified
by this law. It doesn't stop there though.
The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of
certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained
by the people;
The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the
States respectively, or to the people. Under the provisions of this piece of
Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have
any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.
I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get
the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting
rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of
Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution."
If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation
or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or
affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people
would hold me accountable.
For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult
the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see
exactly what we are about to have taken from us.
