Trump ran on “repeal AND replace”. If you think people are going to win congressional seats on “just repeal”, well come on back in 18 months and we’ll see how that turned out.
Given the remote possibility that you have not seen the following material concerning Obamacare and Trumpcare, you might find it interesting.
Noting that I gladly voted for Trump and do not regret doing so, please consider the following.
What I suspect that constitutionally low information Trump does not yet understand about Obamacare or the Trumpcare is this.
Regardless what lawless Obama’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices want everybody to think about Obamacare, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the corrupt feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for a national healthcare program. This is evidenced by the following excerpts from the writings of Thomas Jefferson and Supreme Court case opinions.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons [emphasis added], our property, our reputation and religious freedom.” —Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
“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.
"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.
”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.
So if Trumpcare involves removing unconstitutional federal regulations dealing with INTRAstate commerce from the books, regulations that corrupt Congress not only can't justify under its Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3) but also make healthcare more expensive, then great!
But if Trumpcare requires new federal government powers beyond the scope of the Commerce Clause, then patriots need to support Trump in getting the states to ratify a Trumpcare amendment to the Constitution imo.
