| 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 by 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, free health 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. (I smell the rot of TYRANNY in
the air!)
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 AUTHORITY
to 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 healthcare a
DIRECT VIOLATION of the
specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the
Constitution, your personal financial information, and the information of
your employer, physician, and
hospital. All of this is a protection 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
Amendments may 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 U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights.
There you can see exactly what we are about to have TAKEN
from us.
