As mentioned in related threads, regardless what activist justices and judges want everybody to believe about the constitutionality of Obamacare Democratcare, the Supreme Court had historically repeatedly clarified the following about any so-called federal public healthcare program.
While it is clear just from reading Congress's constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, the Supreme Court had clarified that the Constitution's silence about any so-called federal public healthcare program means that the states have never granted the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes. This is evidenced by the following excerpts from Supreme Court case opinions.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln, 1837.
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphasis added] beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.
And regardless that Democrats and RINOs will argue that since the Constitution doesn't say that Congress cannot establish a national healthcare program, it means that they can do it, please consider that the Supreme Court has also addressed that kind of foolish thinking. The Court has clarified that powers not delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
I think the short answer to that is Medicare, which certainly qualifies as a "national healthcare program."
Can you name one judge or one member of the House or the Senate who is willing to claim that Medicare is unconstitutional? I can't think of even one - not one.
That's why I say that the only way the American people can get the federal government out of the healthcare system is to engage in a massive boycott of the entire healthcare system.
