I already addressed that in my previous post. Just because you claim it's unconstitutional doesn't mean it doesn't become ligitimate law. It's been happening since the inception of our government, our founders even did it. Look at slavery... join reality, you are trying to paint the picture of a system that doesn't exist.
Republicans vehemently opposed all three. You need to check your facts like you had to about the government "paying for the uninsured". Your statement there is 100% false. Here is far left-wing ThinkProgress my friend (funded by none other than George Soros himself):
It didn't help the bakery that didn't want to support gay marriage.
We have had decades of a free market system and yet millions are uncovered. We fund programs like medicare and medicad, we've regulated insurance agencies to keep children on parents plans, and not allow them to deny coverage to those with preexisting conditions. All while programs like St. Judes and Shriners have had the ability to help the millions that remain uninsured despite all the efforts I listed above. You just said that the best solution to our healthcare costs problems is getting as many people as possible covered. Don't you think history has shown that your proposed solution of "allowing the individual to handle their own business" hasn't worked. People have always been allowed to handle their own business and these problems have escalated. Obamacare actually got 20 million people coverage, that is a good thing. It was not successful in expanding care options and lowering prices so measures need to be taken to address that. However, I big chunk of the main problem (the uninsured) was helped by the Act.
Wonderful, then you just proved that Democrats and Republicans are both part of the problem. Perhaps you can now stop pointing the partisan finger at democrats for being the sole cause of everything you complain about.
Republicans were just about split down the middle on Medicad, and there was overwhelming support for social security as I mentioned before with only 6 nay votes from the senate. These are the numbers, I don't know how you can say they are 100% false.
Poor example, you are stretching and I think you know it... Our government makes and enforces the laws of our nation. They have the power to change the constitution if they want as they have done multiple times in the past. Somebody raping a girl is breaking the law. Congress passing a law is making a law, not breaking a law. There is a process if there is controversy over a law being constitutional. It gets appealed and the courts decide. It gets vetoed by the President. Or Congress repeals the law through a process. This is our system. This is how it works. If you are going to go around claiming that our laws and programs like Social Security and Medicare are illegal then you are going to be ignored as a fringe extremist and nobody is going to take your arguments seriously.
People haven't been permitted to handle their own business since the 1800's. And guess what? Healthcare was ultra affordable back then. People didn't even need health insurance. It was so affordable - they could pay out of pocket.
While actually causing 10 million people to lose their current coverage and causing prices to skyrocket for all of society. Absolutely through the roof. And oh yeah - adding trillions to the national debt.
Not all chief. Dumbocrats create the problem and the American people turn to the Republicans to clean it up. That places them in a precarious position. What has been your mantra on this board for years now? "The Republicans had their chance to 'fix' healthcare and they did nothing". Republicans obeyed the Constitution and stayed out of it. Dumbocrats fucked everything up (as always) and now Republicans are left with a legislative and political nightmare.
Some of things you say are just jaw-dropping crazy. The only way the U.S. Constitution can be altered is through the amendment process. Social Security was not a legal and proper amendment to the constitution and even the Democrats would tell you that. Medicare was not a legal and proper amendment to the constitution and even the Democrats would tell you that. Medicaid was not a legal and proper amendment to the constitution and even the Democrats would tell you that. Obamacare was not a legal and proper amendment to the constitution and even the Democrats would tell you that.
Sweetie....Ronald Reagan was president of the United States. He didn't create legislation. Tip O'Neill and the Dumbocrat Congress did. Oh - and the tax payers weren't paying a dime from that legislation. The free market was picking up the cost of that idiotic socialism.
Oh sweetie....you added a link to Obamacare while talking about the law passed by Tip O'Neil and the Dumbocrats in the 1980's which forced hospitals to accept any and all patients regardless of their ability to pay.

You are so confused right now - you literally have no idea which way is up. Sweetie - Barack Obama was snorting coke and smoking pot at Columbia when that bill was passed. We all know that Obamacare shifts the burden to tay payers. But we were talking about the 1980's. You know.....almost 4 decades before Obamacare.
