The Reasons Obama care is Unconstitutional

Challenges to Obama care have now reached the U.S. Supreme Court and it needs to be struck down because it is an unconstitutional power grab of unprecedented proportions over every aspect of the lives of the American people. The unconstitutional nature of Obama care stands on two main points.

The first problem is that the act was passed in violation of Article 1 Section 2 of the Constitution which says that all bills that produce revenue have to start in the house; however the bill that congress actually passed originated in the Senate and was passed unchanged by the House. This was done to prevent the bill being killed by a filibuster in the senate that would have resulted if they tried to put it through the senate again. However since Obama care has taxes in it, it is there fore a revenue act and had to start in the House but it did not and therefore is unconstitutional.

The second problem is the individual mandate that requires individual citizens to purchase Government approved health insurance. This is unconstitutional because of the fact that the Federal Government simply has no such authority to force people to by a product. The excuse given is the commerce clause which is already the most abused section of the constitution. Every previous claim of power under the commerce clause is based on a person taking action to engage in commerce. On the other hand under Obama care the Federal Government is now making an unprecedented claim of authority over not engaging in commerce by claiming that inaction is action. This is a fallacious claim that can not be allowed to stand since if allowed to stand it would literally give the Federal Government control over every aspect of the lives of every American. They are declaring the authority to dictate how every American spends the fruits of their own labor effectively reducing all of us to a state of forced servitude and slavery which is also a violation of the 13 Amendment.

Obama care is the biggest power grab in the history of the United States it is blatantly unconstitutional and if it is not stopped in will destroy and ready weak economy.
