1) First of all, as has been said many times, it is miss labeled. The bill passed this weekend does nothing about health care. It is supposed to be about health insurance.
2) Where does the Constitution authorize this kind of thing? Yeah sure you are going to tell me the "General welfare" clause in the preamble. Wrong, all the preamble does is tell us what the document is about. Commerce clause? Wrong again. Back a few years ago, (like 70 or 80) the supreme court made a poor choice and allowed a seemingly inappropriate law to be considered under the commerce clause even though it had nothing to do with regulating interstate commerce. Ever since then Congress has been able to eat away the power of the constitution and enact more inane laws about things the constitution specifically gave power to the states. Read the damn document!
3) This whole bill is bad for the country. Right now because of the way health care is done here in the USA, medical companies, and "Big Pharma" have incentives to innovate, and research. Once you take away the freedom to do that, by having a governmental panel decide who gets what care, the innovation is no longer incentivized.
3) To quote a former president "It's the economy stupid!" Higher taxes and more debt will not fix the economy. That's what this bill does. Not only that but we get to pay for it in new taxes for years before we see any of it's "benefits." Our beloved Government is again playing fast and loose with the numbers here. Go Figure!
