This entire law amounts to a forced, uncompensated taking of private property.
What is the property?
- The right to manage our personal finances, which is reduced by government forcing us to purchase health insurance.
- The right to personally choose health providers and to contract for same.
People laughed when the idea of death panels was brought up. But in fact, this law requires us to delegate life-and-death decisions to nameless, faceless bureaucrats.
The potential for political abuse of a government-run health care system is enormous. Records can be stolen and disclosed; treatment can be denied to non-compliant persons (i.e., conservatives).
En-garde, socialist / communist bastards.
Apart from the violation of Article I, Section 8, it also violates the 4th, 5th (Takings Clause), 10th, and 13th Amendment.
Some bill there, huh?
Congress cannot pass a law that mandates you divulge your health information to them.
Likewise, they cannot pass a law that mandates you divulge your health info to anybody else, including some insurance company they order you to buy insurance from.
