Maybe there is no answer. I strongly believe that government doesn't and shouldn't come up with all of the answers. Government should not be everything to everybody. We are not a socialist country, and it I hope we stop heading down that path.

4. None of the Above
It is no more beyond the scope of the federal government than is Social Security, Medicare or any other federal program. It will go through the same process as any other bill. First it's written, "discussed" and voted on by the legislative branch, which is comprised of elected representatives from all states (both the House and the Senate). If it makes it through that process, it can be either signed and made into law or vetoed by the elected President (Executive branch). It can be challenged in the Judicial branch for constitutionality, eventually making its way up to the Supreme court. They will ultimately decide its constitutionality. Balance of power. The founding fathers knew what they were doing in creating a system with checks and balances. They also left room for growth, knowing that new issues would come up through the years, and gave us a system for dealing with those issues. Health care falls into that category.
If it's unconstitutional, it will end up in the Supreme Court, where they have a deep understanding of constitutional law. It's what they are there for.
They had health care issues in the 1700's. Benjamin Franklin was crippled by pain and disease. He didn't take from his neighbors to eradicate his problems.
"It is no more beyond the scope of the federal government than is Social Security, Medicare or any other federal program."
True. Those are illegal and worthless, too. But just because we have those doesn't mean we should have more. That doesn't make sense. That's like saying "Well, a few years ago, some guys stole a t.v. and stereo from my neighbor. I may as well take his lawnmower."
Look, there aren't enough rich people to pay for us to have utopia. And making them less rich will not make me less poor. We need to get over the class envy and wipe our own tushes. I hope there will always be rich people so my husband will always have a job.

That's just not fair. I wanted that lawnmower. We should all be equal in our possessions even if we make no attempt to contribute or take care of ourselves. I'm entitled!!!! I want that mower!!!
Somebody pass a law and give it to me! I shouldn't have to sacrifice to have things. I should have it all.
I think we should all have an entitlement not to support anyone unless we choose to do so through the church or charity.

LOL you know I feel very strongly about my political views, but working in the Social Services office in a Democratic state really made me learn to shut up or be verbally disected. I just listen and laugh now and vote the way I want.
Well if the plan goes through we will all be required to have insurance. People that can afford nice houses and newer cars and go on 450.00 trail rides will be forced to buy insurance too. The only people that will get a free ride will be those that can't afford it. Of course there will be fraud. There is currently fraud at every level including the very wealthy. Has been since the beginning of man some 5000 years ago according to some. Maybe that's the real complaint here. We all have to get health insurance weather we want it or not.
Why can't we just live somewhere without a government?

I will bow out of this line of discussion.
My family was on Medicaid when I was growing up. Even as a child, I was very aware of all the "good people" that would judge my family's situation. My husband also grew up poor. We know how hard it is. So, even though we are well educated, well paid people who *WORK HARD* ( like y'all ), we do not judge and hope to help everyone.
Peace!
