Appeals Court in Ohio Upholds Health Law (Requirement to buy Health Insurance is Constitutional)

Wall Street Journal ^ | 6/29/11 | P Landers

[Recovering_Democrat]

A federal appeals court in Cincinnati on Wednesday upheld the health-care law passed by Congress last year, saying the law's requirement for most Americans to carry insurance or pay a penalty is constitutional.

The vote was 2-1 on the three-judge panel on the key question of whether the insurance requirement exceeded Congress's powers under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The majority concluded that it did not.

We’ll just use their strategy against them and overload the system.

If 20 million Patriots refuse to purchase and then demand free healthcare, we’ll just break the back of the government-run healthcare system. They can’t throw 20 million of us in jail. And if they come after us, we’ll just ask the illegals how to live off the grid while reaping all the benefits of US society.

Hi ho, hi ho it’s off the USSC we go.

[redshawk]

Me too, however, it will not meet SCOTUS until after the 2012 elections. 0pansy has planned, and controlled it this way.

[Solitar]

Bush is among the worst presidents in American history, that is a fact.
My opinion too.

Which one?

[AnAmericanMother]

The whores called. They object that your description places them in a bad light.

Horse crap.

Horse crap is taxable and MUST take a part in helping pay for governments compassion in giving every human body in the USA perfect health.

The only thing that matters is how the Supreme Court will rule on this. I still think they’ll strike down the mandate 5-4.

[EGPWS]

From the same Court that ruled CO2 is a pollutant?

From the minds of most publicly educated people..."Anything that comes out of a tail pipe of a vehicle MUST be considered a pollutant".

[publiusF27]

Stevens, Breyer, Sotomayor, Ginsburg, Kagan, and Kennedy will vote for the mandate for the reasons given by Sutton in the 6th Circuit opinion today.

Roberts, Alito, and Thomas will dissent, with Thomas writing separately and alone.

Only Thomas will get it right, again, just as in the Raich case.

You heard it here first.

[EGPWS]

Without the mandate the whole thing wont work. Because everyone would just wait till they got sick or hurt to get insurance then.

Will there be ANY doctors out there that would give their services under the Hippocratic oath and take cash from the uninsured out of their love of human freedom?

[EGPWS]

That part is coming, my FRiend,soon after obamacare is fully implemented,you will be notified to report to a physician's office.Once you are there, they will take your blood pressure, body weight/mass and refer their results to a chart that is calibrated according to height. A few dys later, you will receiv a notice in the mail as to what foods and in what quantity you are authorized to purchase. Unauthorized purchases will not be allowed.

Don't forget the bar code being tattooed to your forearm for identification so you can be tracked for your own good.

maybe we will get lucky and one of them will strangle the other one................

the courts have decided that under the commerce clause, Marxism is the supreme law of the land ,

ie: under the commerce clause the government owns all and allows you to have anything by its benevolence

[Round 9]

The house of Representatives controls the spending and the Tea Party supposedly controls the House so why not pass a budget that just does not fund Obamacare? Hold fast, tell the dems to f off because the People support the repeal.

I’m embarrassed I live in Ohio.

"Founding fathers are constantly rolling in their graves under this bogus administration and liberal/commie courts."

[Brett11]

This isn’t the kind of case in which Kennedy would vote with the liberals. It’s usually the social issues like abortion and the death penalty where Kennedy sides with the liberals. There’s been at least two cases where Kennedy voted to strike down federal laws that violated the commerce clause, and if he voted to strike down those laws I don’t see any way that he’ll vote to uphold Obamacare.

Requirement to buy Health Insurance is Constitutional

No it isn't.

You can also bet your bottom dollar that when the SCOTUS finally gets this case (and they will), Elena "The Bulldyke" Kagan won't recuse herself, even though she co-wrote the Obama Communist Health Care Takeover.

We are not a nation ruled by law anymore. In Philadelphia, they are a city within a state that permits the open carry of firearms. The cops and the mayor there simply ignore the law, and harass, intimidate, assault, and then charge law abiding citizens while letting the racist black "flash mobs" go Scott free.

SHOCKING AUDIO: Philadelphia Police violate rights of open carrier at gunpoint

We are living in a Police State. We are living in a nation where our Constitution is ignored every day. We are living in a nation where the courts and our politicians are themselves the criminals.

[ANGGAPO]

You are inferring that the Obama stimulation of our economy to the toon of 13 Trillion don't count? Most of that money went to the guys that caused the problem.
