The Democrats' healthcare reform bill is unconstitutional - latimes.com: "Congress is ignoring the Constitution by requiring all Americans to buy health insurance and ordering states to establish health benefit exchanges to run the new federal healthcare system.
The House and Senate have passed their respective versions of the legislation to take over the healthcare system, and a common bill is being hammered out, once again behind closed doors. The essential elements that we know will be in the final product are bad policy for America and, perhaps worse, a threat to liberty itself. The courts may have to enforce the constitutional boundaries that Congress has ignored.
This legislation presents at least two categories of constitutional problems. The first includes provisions that affect individuals and businesses. The mandate that individuals obtain health insurance, for example, would be the first time in American history that Congress has required all Americans to purchase a particular good or service. Nothing in the Constitution gives Congress that much power."
