healthcare bill. Read his conclusions. This is stunning!
The Truth About the Health Care Bills - Michael
Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney
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.

Hysterical, slippery slope argument ca ca.
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.
