retechie<br> general welfare, commerce clause and taxation powers.<br> <br> You may disagree but, that's your answer.<br> <br> Same answer applies to Medicare.<br> <br> Again, disagree away but no one has yet successfully litigated any of this as being unconstitutional. that's close to 50 years and counting.<br> <br> maybe you can be the first! :-)<br> By snarkybird <br> <br> The general welfare, etc., does NOT apply to forcing a citizen to buy something, so that is not an answer. I don't believe anyone has ever challenged social security or medicare before, please show us where they have. SHOULD have, but probably not.<br> <br> It would just be so much better if you people would realize we can take care of the uninsured/uninsurable WITHOUT creating a new bureaucracy. If that can be done, why are you pushing so hard for this legislation? What do you care as long as they are covered some how?
