Health care a new law

Ok - so, as I said before, if you haven't noticed already it went back to the House and they approved the changes. President Obama has passed the bill and it is now law. There will still be a huge legal fight to see if it is constitutional to mandate that we have to purchase health insurance.

My opinion is that this does violate several constitutional freedoms that we have. First and foremost, the 10th amendment states:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Basically this means that the federal government cannot force the states to enforce federal statute. In 1992, in New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144 1992, for only the second time in 55 years, the Supreme Court invalidated a portion of a federal law for violating the Tenth Amendment.

It will be a very long, drawn-out process to see if there is really a legal leg to stand on here.

If you haven't heard already, within this bill they also passed a student loan law. The law strips banks of their roles as middlemen and puts the government in charge. You can still get a loan through a private lender but it won't have the backing of the federal government.

Please be sure to check back with me next week when I post what the new health care bill will do and what it won't do. I will give you the information and links you need to research it yourself so you can draw your own conclusions to what it could mean for you and your family.
