You are incorrect.This has everything to do with the constitutionality of the health care law passed earlier this year.When Bush was doing things I did not like, I spoke up about it but was not on the boards then.Guess what, it does not matter because Bush is not the President and just because one President championed causes that pissed on the Constitution does not mean the next one should get a pass, esp when tweaking something as personal as healthcare.Bush looks like a freaking saint compared to Obama, so get over it and lets talk about NOW.I did not vote for Bill McCollum for Governor but certainly proud to have him as my Attorney General who has the guts to take on the regime.
Obamacare is blatantly unconstitutional.The individual mandate is a great example because the Federal government does NOT have the power under the consitution to tax, penalize(called an excise tax) etc for not buying something.Surely even the most left wing hater of the consitution can see that this flies in the face of what our republic stands for.For if that were true, the government could technically force you to buy anything they deem you need.Obama likes Pepsi?, well he could techinically make us buy Pepsi under the Feds line of thinking.Slippery Slope, remember that.
Then the cost of this monster.We are already in debt, big time and although the scumbags who constructed this law tried to argue it would not add debt, guess what? The CBO has said it will cost more than expected and it will run up yet more debt.The bill is unpopular because it muders liberty when it comes to healthcare, costs too much, will raise health care costs(due to higher taxes on medical equipment etc) and really is just a giant F U to the people under the guise of helping us because the President and Dems in Congress believe they know what is best for us.
There are a few good things but they do not outweigh the faults of the bill.The good things include stopping companies from denying for pre existing conditions.Allowing students to stay on parents insurance until 26, this directly affects me as since I am in law school now and no longer employed, I need my parents insurance but if I do not have it, well I'll handle it.
The Republicans will most likely win mid terms in a big way and have vowed repeal and repass, so the few good things combined with some tort reform(yes coming from an aspiring lawyer) and some other things could make a decent, constitutional healthcare law.No doubt we need some reform in our system but Obamacare is not reform, it's giant, unconstitutional power grab that will damage our republic even further and those who fail to see that, well hopefully they will see the light someday.
