Become a Zion People!

A question many of us are asking. Is this healthcare thing constitutional?

A retired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire proposed healthcare bill. Read his conclusions. This is stunning!

The Truth About the Health Care Bill

Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed

House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act

of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of

expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of

the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional.

What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about

the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats

and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health

care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens

are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion

services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of

the medical profession.

The Bill will also eventually force private

insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government

run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be

made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care

professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and

allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by

the government.

However, as scary as all of that is, it just

scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation

really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices.

Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power

to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even

been contemplated If this law or a similar one is adopted, major

portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have

been destroyed.

The first thing to go will be the masterfully

crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and

Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be

transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of

different areas over the lives of the American people, and the

businesses they own.

The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any

authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I defy

anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority

granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.

This legislation also provides for access, by

the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal

healthcare direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th

Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal financial

information, and the information of your employer, physician, and

hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and

seizures.. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will

have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th

Amendments may provide.

If you decide not to have healthcare insurance,

or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the

Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax

imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the

intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th

Amendment. However, that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in

the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax,

it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process

of law.

So, there are three of those pesky amendments

that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of

Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law It doesn’t stop

there though.

The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration

in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny

or disparage others retained by the people;

The 10th Amendment states: The powers not

delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it

to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the

people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork

neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers

at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.

I could write many more pages about this

legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health

care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the

Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be

bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution.” If I was a

member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or

anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or

affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people

would hold me accountable.

For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest

they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill

of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to

have taken from us.
