This mandate violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment of the population. Also, this violates the first amendment of the constitution that guarantees every United States citizen the freedom to practice his or her own religion. Lastly, the Affordable Care Act mandate violates the tenth amendment. The tenth amendment states that any powers not specifically named in the constitution belong to the states and the people, not the federal government. This mandate is a tremendous overreach of federal power, as the federal government has no right to enforce a mandate that violates religious freedom.…
After watching Dr. Flowers and seeing the way she perceives Obamacare, I personally have the say that I agree with her. She explained that since Obamacare is always praised, and always in the limelight, there are many drawbacks that must be brought to the forefront. One of the challenges that she brought up in her critique was that Obamacare has done nothing but force people to buy private insurance, create insurance exchanges, as well as spend more money to hire tons of people to knock on doors to sell private insurances. Not only are people forced into buying one of these private insurances, they’re also forced into paying more out of pocket expenses if they are seriously injured and have to go to an “out of network” doctor. It is not a step…
1. The Supreme Court's interpretation of the commerce clause was to favor national power over the economy. Any effort by the federal government to regulate commerce in such areas as fraud, the production of impure goods, the use of child labor, or the existence of dangerous working conditions or long hours was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.…
The scope of the Commerce Clause reached the Supreme Court in Gibbons v. Ogden, as various discrepancies involving a power struggle between the federal and state governments emerged. In 1824, a New York state law permitted individuals the exclusive right to operate steamboats…
The commerce power is the power of congress to regulate interstate and foreign trade, it is also vital to the welfare of the nation(McClenaghan). This power is located in Article 1, section 8, clause 3 of the Constitution.…
The Affordable Care Act (2009) and the Health Security Act (1993) were two attempts made to reform the U.S. healthcare system. In 1993 the Clinton administration fought to better the system and provide comprehensible healthcare coverage to its citizens. This bill however was shot down in the legislative system and never made it into law. Then in 2010 the Obama administration squeezed their updated version of the bill through the House and Senate in a very narrow, partisan victory. The reasoning behind why the Clinton’s attempt didn’t get passed came down to two reasons. First it was highly criticized and opposed politically. Secondly it was a matter of concerns about the actual content of the bill.…
That particular provision of Act is deemed to be unconstitutional. However we will not the be the judge of that, Supreme Court will decide if federal government can regulate economic inactivity under the commerce clause of the constitution. The issue with Affordable Care Act is that it forces taxpayer that does not to pay a tax that is equal to one percent of their income in 2014 and 2.5% in 2016 (Obama care facts, 2013). Another provision of the Affordable Care Act is to expand Medicaid health care program by extending eligibility to millions of low income individuals starting 2014. States are arguing and challenging the Obamacare and urging that it is giving them an ultimatum to expand their share of administration and Medicaid costs with the risk of losing that funding if…
The Affordable Care Act was signed into a law on March 23, 2010, by President Barack Obama. The United States, after long years of demanding Ever since the enactment of Medicaid and Medicare in 1965, this law is considered the most important administrative system of the United States health care system. This law was planned to help avoid terrible health care costs to the people who did not provide health insurance for themselves. The terrible health care costs can destroy the credit scores of the people. This can eventually cause home closure and even bankruptcy. The Affordable Care Act expects to raise the value, admission, and inexpensiveness of health coverage. Also, to lower the health care prices for the government and citizens. In…
Commerce primarily means to traffic or transport goods across state lines for revenue (2). The Constitution of the United States itemizes specific powers for the federal government as conveyed in the Commerce Clause (Article 1, Section 8 and Clause 3) of the United States Constitution (1). The Commerce Clause gives Congress the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian Tribes (5). On the contrary, the Tenth Amendment confers that any powers that are not delegated to Congress by the Constitution are reserved for the states (1). The construction of the Commerce Clause was initially displayed to restrict state power rather than to make it a source of national power (2). As a result, Congress…
Investor’s Business Daily is a United States newspaper that was founded in 1984. It provides the latest news about business, finance, and the economy. The author of this newspaper article believes it is impossible to fix ObamaCare. They point out all of the flaws in the reform and suggest that trying to fix the problems would only lead to more, and possibly bigger, problems. The author agrees with everything ObamaCare is trying to accomplish, but they believe the only way to actually accomplish those goals is to adopt a market-based form of healthcare. This article is an argument against the Affordable Care Act. It could potentially be useful for future essays and assist me in taking a position on this issue.…
Over the course of our time the commerce clause has been a primary source for regulatory expansion of the nation’s government. This leads me to my first question. What is the Commerce Clause? The Commerce Clause which can be found in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of our Constitution states that it gives congress the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among several states, and with the Indian Tribe. In the business world this clause tends to have the most impact over any other clause that is stated in the United States Constitution.…
Narrow construction is not found in the Constitution, but the powers granted to Congress to regulate commerce are found. Exactly stated, "Congress shall have power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes." This clause has no definite interpretation, but has included many aspects of regulating. The word "commerce" is defined as the exchange or buying and selling of commodities on a large scale involving transportation from place to place (Webster 264). Congress has exercised this delegated power in many cases. The nature and basic guidelines of Congress' power over commerce is first laid out in the case of Gibbons v. Ogden. In addition, the case United States v. Lopez is a prime example of Congress' ability to carry out the Commerce Clause to the furthest extent. Lastly, the case National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation brings to light the Wagner Act of 1935. Through a review of these three cases, it can be concluded that there are no real limitations on Congress when regulating commerce.…
Commerce and the Court: How and Why to Define the Commerce Issue Commerce has been part of our nation since we founded it. To every farmer, commerce was important so that the food they grew would not spoil on waiting for transport. However, as the nation grew, our definition of commerce has changed many times. Debates over whether Congress had powers to control commerce sparked further debate on if the Courts had the right to define commerce. Every debated, including this one, has two sides that need to be explored.…
On the contrary, congress should make health care available for everyone at a nominal cost. Socialized health care system. Yes, Socialized! A very scary concept! Providing health care for everyone should be the government's responsibility just like building parks, freeways and most importantly, the public education system. The access to affordable healthcare is a basic human right. It should be part of the infra-structure. Making healthcare more affordable does improve the situation, but then again, it can be a threat to liberty. Allowing Congress the kind of power to be able to enforce people to do something that they may not want to do is a major problem for a democratic country. These days, a trip to emergency room will cost you a pretty penny, and god forbid you get diagnosed with some type of cancer, you and your whole family will become slaves for the hospital bills. So yes, making healthcare cheaper is important, but forcing people to buy healthcare is not constitutional and should be up to each person. In my opinion, the majority of people will eventually realize how important it is to purchase some kind of healthcare coverage, and they will do so. The whole point I am trying to reach is that Congress is violating our freedom to make this important…
