Oh how I wish the best argument against nationalized health care would be front and center in this debate--IT VIOLATES THE 10TH AMENDMENT! The federal government, under the constitution, simply does not have the authority to establish and operate mandatory health care for Americans.

Of course this is true of most everything else the federal government is doing--Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Americorp, etc., etc.

Great...I can drop my current healthcare and live off the givers. Thanks Obama!!

The fact that these programs violate the Constitution became a non-issue many years ago. Even Republicans don't talk about it. What's wrong with the states deciding these options? My husband's grandparents came to America in the early 1900's because they saw opportunity, not handouts -- those were the days I guess.
