All I can say is buyer's remorse. I do not want to be forced to subsidize the health insurance industry. I have insurance but what if times got economically hard for me and it was a choice between paying my mortgage or buying health insurance? I would choose paying my mortgage. What this bill does is remove a layer of flexibility individuals have with their disposal income by forcing them to give it to the healh insurance industry. I am very angry over this. If they pass a mandate, I will never vote for another Democrat as long as I live. I feel so violated and betrayed by their actions. I hope the Republicans and Democrats with a conscience will derail this and start all over with ensuring competition across state lines, allowing the importation of cheap drugs from Canada, eliminate pre-existing conditions, and mandate that health insurance companies must spend 80% of more of their revenues on health care. The system is a mess but it will be worse with this bill. Besides, it most probably is unconstitutional for the Congress to mandate that Americans buy a product from a particular industry. - Christopher Winter Thu, 24 Dec 2009 16:18:53 +0100 http://www.hatchforsenate.com/blog/unconstitutional#comment-117 First, I want thank you for writing this blog. Not many people understand or care about this assault to our liberty. Second, how can someone like me fight this? I'm not a constitutional lawyer and I really don't know any. I'm poor, so I really can't afford one. From what I've read from other sources on the Internet, this is going to be one tough battle, so one has to hire lawyer for the long haul. Third, can't the Supreme Court say or do anything before this bill passes? It's my understanding, though I could be wrong, that the Chief Justice does have the power to pick any case he chooses to review. Couldn't he ask to see the bill as soon as Obama signs or does he have to wait until someone petitions the Court? - Kim Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:26:42 +0100 http://www.hatchforsenate.com/blog/unconstitutional#comment-112 Keep hammering away at the individual mandate - that is the worst single offense in the health care bill that just passed (not that the rest of it is all that pretty). Not enough has been said about that provision, but so long as it remains you must work to kill this bill even if it means repeating your one-man filibuster from years ago. - David Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:03:33 +0100
