Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) on two thousand pages of Health Care ReformTyranny:
The greatest fear that we all should have to our freedom comes from this room….
Page 94, section 202c, prohibits the sale of private individual health insurance policies beginning in 2013, forcing individuals to purchase coverage through the federal government.
We can’t make that up; it’s right there in the bill.
…
I think one of the funniest pieces in the bill, if anything can be considered funny, page 122 section 233a3, requires the Commisioner, the new insurance czar, to, quote, “Issue guidances on plain language writing”. This, from the same people who wrote a nineteen hundred and ninety page health care bill, which is very difficult to read.
Federally funded elective abortions. Parenting “guidelines”. Paying for veterinary education. No limit on attorney’s fees or caps on damages.
Deep, wide reaching grasp of our most private, sensitive, critical affairs by self-serving career bureaucrats.
Put forward by politicians who don’t understand why they should be required to read and understand something they will insist the rest of us live and die by.
Who mock those asking what the Constitutional authority for the bill is.
Who passed a law requiring you to register your OTC snot pills and limit how many you can have in a month because, hey, otherwise, you’d just buy cases of the stuff to make Drugs, which are bad, m’kay?
And yes, folks, it is in fact Obamacare. The One His Own Self took ownership of it when he addressed Congress.
And read Neal Boortz here.
I find that hard to believe (the whole forcing people to buy health care through the federal government bit). Care to quote the passage that you reference?
The Constitutional authority for the bill is the same as it is for any bill that Congress passes: the Elastic Clause.
“The Congress shall have Power – To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.”
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18.
And the “snot pills” comment is one of your worse supporting examples. It’s not like the limit on buying them is so low that all it takes is one cold for you to be drowning in your own boogers because you’ve used up your allotment. The limit really only impacts those who buy them in bulk in order to abuse them. But no, if the government intervenes in anything it must be for the worse, according to you.
One thing that I honestly find surprising is the list of fragments that you list after the quote, such as: “Federally funded elective abortions.” and “Paying for veterinary education.” What ABOUT those issues? Obviously, the bill has some language that you interpret to mean that the bill will introduce the first (because although you hate government intervention, it certainly shouldn’t be HELPING people when that entails abortion), but who do you say it requires to pay for veterinary education?
It’s not so bad if the government helps aspiring medical students become veterinarians, you know. Lots of people rely on seeing eye dogs.
This is, sad to say, one of your less coherent posts. I’m sure even you can do better.
