Debate: U.S. Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare: a proper ruling? (view source)
Revision as of 19:00, June 28, 2012
, 19:00, June 28, 2012→Yes
The Supreme Court did not say that Obamacare is a good piece of legislation, or that it is right for the country. It merely said it is legal, which is hard to deny. It may be job-killing, it may not solve our health care problems, but it doesn't violate the Constitution. [[User:Jpope14|Jpope14]] 11:55, 28 June 2012 (EDT)

==No==
"To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among
the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;"
1.8.3
Even if it was a tax it would mean those who have healthcare would be getting a deduction, therefore making taxes non uniform, in violation of Article 1 Section 8 Clause 1:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes,
Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for
the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States;
but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout
the United States;"
1.8.1
Also, regardless of whether or not it is a tax, it is clearly in favor of those who purchase healthcare and is an attempt to force people to get healthcare, which is in violation of Article 1 Section 9 Clause 6, suggesting that individuals are also included (which they aren't because it is specifically stated earlier that individuals are not to be subject to regulatory clauses at all) in regulatory clauses which is clearly what the Obama admin believes:
"No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of
Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of
another; nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be
obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another."
1.9.6
