A retired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire proposed health care bill. Read his conclusions and pass this on as you wish. This is stunning!

The Truth About the Health Care Bills
– Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney

Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200:
The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009.
I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by  members of the medical profession.

The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government.

However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.

The first thing  to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own.

The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.

This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, in direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and  seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.

If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However , that doesn't work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law.

So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn't stop there though.

The 9th Amendment that provides: The  enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;

The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.

I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution." If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating  that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.

For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

If you don't care about our constitution, or your rights under it, just do nothing.

It is NOT "OUR" CON-stitution! And "OUR" rights do NOT come from any such CON-stitution!

OUR rights come from our CREATOR, not from some man made CON that was written by some select group of men that decided to get together and create THEMSELVES a foreign corporation called government for THEIR benefit and prosperity designed to scam the free people of a nation out of their rightful inheritance given to them by their creator!

WAKE UP FOOLS!

You cannot serve two masters! You either serve your creator or you serve a false God called government!

Stop volunteering as a participant of that false God and return to your one and only creator and serve him! Then you shall be set free from your own personal free act and will of having been a voluntary participant of that false God called government!

The choice is entirely up to you! Volunteer as a participant or do not volunteer. If you volunteer you CONSENT to relinquish all your God given rights in exchange for whatever limited rights that false God that calls itself government choose to grant you.

After reading this, my greatest hope is that something is really being done about it If you de-fund the source you stop the corporations and the government from benefiting. That has always been their goal. "Change the hearts of men and make fools of them through devious legislative means". "Take away the people's right to freedom and health, they win."

I don't think de-funding it will revoke the laws it creates. This bill was a huge transfer of power and defunding only takes away the small amount of benefits it provides, and only after they've collected all your personal data first, will they even attempt it.

Yes, Snopes says this is correctly attributed, but it's also outdated, and not even about Obamacare. This was written by Michael Connelly in a blog in August of 2009, about a PROPOSED law, HB 3200, "The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009", a law never passed by Congress. HR 3590, "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010", is what is now Obamacare. So, none of Mr. Connelly's points are relevant, and the Supreme Court never even heard of any of this, because it ISN'T in Obamacare. God, will anybody post the truth?

don't believe that there is any doubt about being one master....and the lawyer would agree with what you just stated...problem is this bill was written to insure that any god given rights that man thinks he has from our fore fathers when they wrote the constitution and bill of rights will be taken from us when this "ObamaNation" is full inacted. they wrote those two documents to take away the power of the king of England a dictator...Obama and friends wants to re-install those powers so they can control everything...just think Obama can say {if the powers are taken away} don't need an election..I am the ruler and king...oh shit!!!

but there are many things that are in the bill that are extremely dangerous...the idea that the govt will require exstensive hospitalization and surgery be approved buy a governmental panel...and if not passed they can require you to speak to a "death Panela" to advise you about preparing to die instead of getting help???,,,plus other things!!!since even Nancy Pelosi doesn't even know whats in it...she said pass it and then we can find out...I believe she knows but didn't want to say....cant trust her and most of those on the hill!!!
