A 50 States Laboratory For Best Healthcare.

[Robo]

Now that the congressional Republicans have proven that they
also don’t have a clue either how to write a healthcare plan
that’s unlikely to lower healthcare cost and be a fair and useful
program for America, one would think they’d break out a copy
of the Constitution and see what role the Congress actually has
in a healthcare program for all America.


Oh wait! If they did that they might discover that hundreds of
political idiots in the People’s House and another 100 morons in
the Senate actually have no constitutional authority to even be
messing in an All American Healthcare program and their only
constitutional authority over healthcare is to regulate the
commerce thereof.


They might notice that healthcare for Americans is a State’s
authority or an authority of the people themselves. The feds are
actually forbidden by amendment 10 of our Constitution to have
anything to do with healthcare except the regulation of commerce.
They can legislate law making it illegal for any State to
prohibit the buying and or selling of healthcare insurance
across State lines or similar such actions.


America’s healthcare system should be a laboratory of States
programs being designed by each State to relate specifically to
the healthcare needs of the citizens of their particular State and
thereby in doing so create plans that every State can learn from
and find useful to design healthcare for their States citizens.

I dont disagree with alot of your thread, but I have to play devils advocate on one statement. You stated the house and senate dont have the right to mess with healthcare. Unfortunately the Supreme Court upheld obamacare on Roberts yes vote.

They did, but it doesn't mean that it was done legitimately. It was done with crappy, ridiculous and tortured logic.

Why shouldn't it be that each State be able to decide for their own citizens what type of insurance/coverage they have access to?

The Court decision ignored the 10th amendment and didn't even bother to give it lip service. Until the Court or somebody with a much greater knowledge of the rule of law can explain to me how, where or when anything in the Constitution awards a power to the feds to institute a national healthcare plan, I'll continue to believe and argue that Obamacare and anything else the feds replace it with is and will be unconstitutional.

Exactly! And it's actually the Constitutional rule of law in my opinion.

Authoritarians don't like federalism because they want to be in control of EVERYTHING down to the smallest detail. The idea of letting the American people figure things out on their own is inconceivable to them.
