Little Sisters of the Poor are Still Fighting ObamaCare— as States Force Nuns to Violate Their Faith
New York Post ^ | Aug. 14, 2025 | David Harsanyi

More than a decade after the Obama administration first tried to force the Little Sisters of the Poor to buy contraception including abortifacient drugs for employees, states are still hounding the nuns in court.

At its heart, ObamaCare was a massive welfare program meant to redistribute health-care costs to the middle class. But it was also a social engineering project aimed at coercing religious organizations and businesses to adopt progressive values.

The Affordable Care Act mandated employers, including nonprofits such as the Little Sisters of the Poor, to pay for contraceptives in their worker-provided health insurance as an “essential health benefit” under the euphemistic category of “preventative and wellness services.”

Yet another reason in a long line to

NUKE THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL COMMANDEERING OF HEALTHCARE!!!!
NOW!!!

Since when did politicians and bureaucrats become doctors and medical experts.???

People in gov’t have their own agenda and each private individual has their own agenda and America is about letting each private individual follow their own agenda free from gov’t interference.

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

To many Republicans don’t want to do away with it because rats will accuse them of killing grandma.

I’m sure by now you seen my clarion call to DISMANTLE the 80%+ $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal gov’t.

About 125 years ago, the gov’t began to ignore its constitutional limits which is why we’re in the mess we’re in.

Unconstitutional federal commandeering of our healthcare is only part of the problem.

The fix is to ABOLISH it and the rest of the unconstitutional portion of the feds.

The problem is the Constitution is anti big-gov’t and, thus, anti political-opportunism.

WE THE PEOPLE MUST take the reigns of gov’t back from the lairs and political opportunists and give it to TRUE PATRIOTS who restore our Free Constitutional Republic by DISMANTLING this HUGE part that is unconstitutional.

The only voice on the national scene that comes close to this is Vivek which is why I want him to take over DOGE and do whatever it takes to restore our Free Constitutional Republic.
