The definition of “commodity” notwithstanding, Congress had previously stipulated that the scope of any health insurance product is wholly intrastate. The present bill is an attempt by Congress to regulate something that doesn’t exist; all intrastate commerce must be uniform in an interstate manner.
How is that any different than Congress regulating State highway and private bridge tolls? Or that all cable vendors must offer specified programming and fees? Quite frankly, where, when and for what purpose you go from place A to B would also fall into said purvue.
Speaking of going, how're those new low-flow turlets working out for us? Now there's another regulation promulgated by the federales based at best on questionable science. Ostensibly to preserve a "renewable" resource done under the "authority" of interstate commerce. The list of course would run into the thousands millions of products but I'm preaching to the choir.
Fact is, the various clauses within, and without in some cases, the Constitution are having to be massaged to the point of becoming unrecognizable. To this layman, 0bamacare is unconstitutional on its face. Too bad I'm not sitting on the high court.
