$72.5 million is only chump change compared to the money wasted on the Obamacare website
If we gave those 10 million free insurance and it cost $3,000 each, the program would have been a bargain....it isn't.
I kind of doubt that vote cost 70 million dollars
If so, they every vote costs millions of dollars. Is that the message?
I’d much rather we “waste” 70 million getting rid of this commie sh*t than wasting trillions trying to make it work.
how does one spend $70 million to pas a bill??
such a mystery!
Bob Dold, John Katko, and Bruce Poliquin voted no.
Say it ain’t so, Bruce.
False. obama kept delaying and opposing Obamacare himself costing the country staggering amounts of money, in the billions, not mere millions.
I wonder if they added up the billions spent to formulate and “deem” the law passed, with all democrat votes and no republican votes.
This illiterate article is worse than worthless.
But, it should still be pointed out that the Republicans have continued to fund Obamacare, every step of the way since they were given back control of the House.
They control the purse strings, but you would never know it from their actions.
I don’t care if they spend $10 billion on repeal, if it gets repealed that will be a bargain.
Paul v. Virginia, 1869
The Paul v. Virginia opinion contains the following statement.
"4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract of indemnity against loss."
Noting that Obama’s activist justices completely “overlooked” Paul v. Virginia in the Obamacare opinion, it has been pointed out concerning the excerpt above that the Supremes had essentially clarified that the Constitution’s Commerce Clause (1.8.3) doesn’t give the feds the power to regulate insurance. So I’m adding the excerpt from Paul v. Virginia to the list of excerpts from Supreme Court case opinions which indicate that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes.
”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.
“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.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
”4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce [emphasis added] within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract of indemnity against loss.” — Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance.)
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphases added] beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.
