The old, tired argument about the "Welfare Clause" has long been debunked (see https://www.houseofpolitics.com/forum/showthread.php?p=113709#post113709 ). Even more so the excuses for the "Commerce Clause".
In fact, the coming government intrusion into Health Care, is completely unconstitutional... as are programs such as Welfare, Social Security, etc.
How long will it be before someone whose employer drops their company's health care program, sues the Fed Govt over enactment of this massive program?
The 10th amendment says that any power not specified in the Constitution, is FORBIDDEN to the Fed, though "the states and the people" can still exercise it if they want.
And running Health Care isn't specified anywhere in the Constitution as a power of the Federal Govt.
For you leftists, what part of the Constitution, exactly, authorizes the Fed Govt to run Health care?
