States Suing Over Health Care Bill, Are You for or Against?
Obama Signs Health Care Bill, Read Between the Lines
The states suing over the health care bill has a plan or their own. The first point of attack lands in the "individual mandate" corner.
To fine an individual for lack of health insurance proves that the human body in health could be of trade value in commerce. The Constitution does not give the United States the power under mandate since a human body is not considered "commerce" by any means.
Another angle would land in the states law concerning Medicaid. Both by which would brew the Constitution outside of it's rights. Each state operates certain services, including their own Medicaid system. Upon signing the health care bill into law the control has been shifted to federal level ignoring the state governing law.
Florida, South Carolina, Michigan, Alabama, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Louisiana, Idaho, Colorado, and Washington are involved in the quest to turn the health care bill onto it's back.

I'm Just A Bill
The Senate debate on reform is said to last until Thursday night, again, according to MSNBC. This is considered the health care bill's final operation whereas the Republicans will go inside, arrange and fix any issues they see, present the bill back to the House for a final approval. The health care bill fight is not over just yet. But what are we looking at thus far?
Medicare will suffer cuts and premiums will rise through the new health care bill process to name a couple cons to the new health care overhaul.
Obama suggests that he will free up $1 trillion in deficit though the amount of this change totals $940 trillion. It will take 940 years just to break even if we do nothing at all. But paying nothing is not in the plan.
As Obama dedicated the historical signature to his mother and Ted Kennedy 31 million uninsured Americans begin to prepare to either be fined for a lack of health insurance or smile thinking they will be offered a free health care ride. One thing is true, nothing is free.
What does this new law mean to Native Americans?
Being a supporter of Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA) I couldn't be more pleased. Now Indians do not have to fight for authorization in health care every year, it's here to stay. Here to stay. However, the Indian Health Care Service has always been under funded. And now that this health care bill has passed with a $940 trillion trench to fill it's questionable whether or not the Indians would be provided better care or funds. Remember, they only received a break on yearly requests.
Obama's health care bill offers promises of not being canceled from a policy when you get sick, kids up to 26 can remain on parent's policies, senior citizens getting affordable prescription drugs. Hold the phones, review the terminally ill section of the health care bill fully. There are some questionable conditions. It used to be that kids up to 23 can be on parent's health care coverage, that's only a three year difference. Nothing to jump about. And affordable prescription drugs for senior citizens?
Medicare for senior citizens will take a hit through cuts only to be told that recipients can afford prescriptions at lower cost when Walmart already offers great generics at lower prices and affordable deals. Cuts and fillers, give to take away, there's no true benefit for Medicare in the end. A trick that can emulate a gift, an offering, but with conditional cuts.
The medical field will be copiously in future demand. A different doctor and nurse upon each visit is an obvious future path America will face. You might as well post your conditions and normal behavioral pattern on a bulletin board for the next shift to view.
2200 pages of specific wording that most would not understand, but give it a shot. Even though today Obama signs the health care bill approving only 900 plus pages, the rest will be signed soon enough. Money does not grow from trees, especially $940 trillion. Question is, will the latest lawsuit stop the financial health insurance ax from falling upon you and will you receive good health care coverage?

Post a CommentI am with the states that are against the reform health care. I think the well taken care of politcians should be put in the unemploment lines and welfare lines like many Americans are that can't afford even a dollor. The only change we see is in our pockets
I don't believe that people should be forced to do anything at the whim of their government.
I'm with the states on this one. Thankfully, I live in Florida. Great article!
No one has touched on the fact that while pre-existing conditions will not be denied in the new bill, the cost for coverage for someone with a pre-existing condition would not be affordable.
Great work on this!
Thoughtful piece, but, again, it's billion, not trillion.
Big overreaching Government has strengthened its role as the Hope and Chains Slavemaster... I'm so angry about this bill! ..taxes now....rationing tomorrow!

AZ definately should join these states and demonstrate that we will not stand for polititions who think they are above the law; changing rules and showing total disregard for our constitution.
AZ. needs to jump on this. This bill just ripped the constitution in two
