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.

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 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 were 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.
