I've always found it interesting that right wingers bitch and moans that people (especially poor, minority people) should be more responsible, work and pay taxes, etc.......
BUT, when it comes to the responsibility of having to pay for your health insurance EVEN when you're young and healthy (the Heritage Foundation mandate)...then all bets are off......
I have no doubt ...NONE......that had the ACA been idealized and enacted by GWB or Reagan, right wingers would LOVE IT !!!!
You're wrong, federal government involvement in civilian health care is unconstitutional, no matter who does it.
The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. -James Madison Federalist 45
