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

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 doesprovide 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, of all of your personal healthcare direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution 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 theyconsult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

AFTER HAVING READ THIS, PLEASE FORWARD.... If you don't care about our constitution, or your rights under it, just do nothing.

I still do not understand how people can support government controlled health care. I agree that things were once too much in favor of the doctors, and now they favor the insurance companies. To give someone else the authority to say what you deserve and what you do not deserve is outrageous. Yes, you can keep your child that refuses to get a job on your insurance until they are 26. Yes, you can go to a hospital and get service. What they do not tell you, and what most people fail to realize, is that the service you take for granted will change. An inflamed gall bladder that needs to be removed will be treated with antibiotics of the smallest power. And then when they don't work, it will be treated with a medium powered antibiotic. And if that doesn't work, it will be treated with a high powered antibiotic. And then when all of that fails they will schedule surgery - and how far out that is, will depend on your age. It will come from a book read by someone with a high school education deciding what to do with your illness based on percentages. So you have cancer that has a 10% survival rate? The survival rate is so small that it will be deemed unworthy to spend the cash to even attempt to treat that. Oh, your child has leukemia? Your grandmother broke her hip? Your 60 year old father had a heart attack?

For the government to insist that you have anything, and we as the people allowing that, is opening the door for more control of our lives. Think about it. If the government insists that we all have health care because some people do not realize it's importance what's to stop them from going further? Oh, let's say that a study is ran and GM is deemed safer than Ford. The government steps in because they do not believe that we can make our own decisions and decides that everyone must have a GM car instead of a Ford. Guns kill people. The law abiding citizens do not realize this. So let's take away their guns. Most citizens can not add or multiply or are not smart enough to check out the nutrition facts on the back of a can of soda. So let's make the soft drink companies put the exact amount of calories on the front of a can. No, we don't care if they will pass the cost off to the citizens. Video games are desensitizing children. Let's get rid of them altogether. Marilyn Manson caused that kid to go in and shoot up that school. Let's get rid of all of that type of music. Ten years later, someone else gets elected, decides that if they can get rid of one type, let's get rid of every bit that pesky rock and roll. Bicycles are the #1 cause of spinal injury in children. Let's get rid of those while we're at it. Don't forget to earmark that bill and add trampolines and swimming pools because they are #2 and #3 on that list.

Keep your right to choose.

Bash away all you want. The one's bashing are the one's that want to control things because they feel you are not smart enough to decide for yourself anyway.
