No its not. We pay taxes to fund the constitutional powers of the federal govt. Youre welcome to pass an amendment if you want to add health care to that.
trust me young lady if this thing isn't stopped we will all have to pay through the nose!
Linda Baker, owner of a Fall River signmaking business, initially went the same route with her two employees. But costs finally outweighed any hiring edge. As monthly premiums climbed $50 to $100 per worker annually, she changed plans three times in four years. "I wanted to give my employees coverage and have them stay," she says, "but it was drowning my company."
During a brief window when Baker had no employees on the plan, she dropped it. New hires will be on their own.
What's in store for you: Don't count on this much buy-in. The industries that dominate in Massachusetts -- education, financial services, and technology -- need skilled workers who expect insurance, says Josh Archambault, director of health care policy at the Pioneer Institute.
Under Obamacare, your boss won't have to offer you insurance if the company employs fewer than 50; bigger firms can pay a penalty that starts at $2,000 a worker in lieu of giving you coverage. Will they? Early signs point to a wait-and-see approach: In a recent Mercer survey, only 6% of large firms said they were likely to have workers buy their own policies come 2014.
If you work for a company with a big low-wage or part-time workforce that's now uninsured -- think retail and hotels -- you're in for more uncertainty. A firm facing penalties that are below the plan costs or a workforce that's largely better off in cheaper, government-subsidized insurance might simply skip a plan, says Archambault.
i can think of 2 particular clause's that cover health insurance
the commerce clause, and the necessary and proper clause.
just for the record, i don't smoke, and i will never smoke.
and what about the people who cannot qualify for the existing government programs but cannnot afford the high costs of private insurance.

That's ok. I misspell things too on occasion.misspelling aside, this the point i am trying to make.
Not... a nation?What is a nation, a country, without its people.

Obamacare has been deemed a tax, not a healthcare law.
Actually, neither have anything REMOTELY do do with health insurance.i can think of 2 particular clause's that cover health insurance

it truely sickens me when the well being of a human being is worth less then profit.
or the senate will vote to remove the language that removes funding for the affordable care act and then send it back to the house
And House loons use the Bible as cover.
These House phony Christians have already received their reward, as their Bible tells them.
when the law was first submitted to the court it was placed under the commerce clause, ....and the argument was, how can government force a citizen to engage in commerce.
during the court hearings, the government had failed in their case using that clause, the court under Roberts moved the law from under the commerce clause,to the tax clause, which was illegal, judges do not make or change laws, they only adjudicate them.
so if it has no moral obligation, why does the government have to provide law enforcement or punish crime. after all it is apparently not their obligation to enforce what is right or wrong.
So huge my friend that history will show it was the last nail in the coffin of our once great Constitutional Republic I say sit back and enjoy the ride into socialist hell cuz what the heck else are you gonna do?a huge misapplication of that power
and being denied medical insurance simply for having a preexisting condition, something that is up to the insurance company to define, is what exactly? a sign of flawless freemarket principles?
The only people who are using it for political purposes are those who refuse to pass it. The debt ceiling should be a non-issue; it is just a means of funding spending programs that were already approved. There shouldn't even be any negotiation required on either side about this. If you didn't want to pay for the spending programs, you shouldn't have voted for them. This is why it was never an issue in the past.
he is right about that, nothing is going to stop them from spending U.S. into bankruptcy we should abandon the pretense and just go for it whole hawg!The debt ceiling should be a non-issue;
what exactly will the debt do to us? make china invade and buy up all our land?
because in perfectly just society, they would be accused of negligence if the individual seeking insurance dies because she could not afford to pay the costs of health insurance.
doctors have something called the Hippocratic oath, maybe we should expect health insurance company's to swear a similar oath.
because the free market has not been doing a great job of keeping health care affordable. people should not go bankrupt trying to afford healthcare or be denied life saving treatment because their current coverage cannot afford it.
A bill which was passed by Congress which has not even gone into full effect yet.
even Joe lunchbox should be terrified by this eventuality but he can't even balance his own checkbook. trust the AngryOldGuy when he sez:eventually we will pass the Debt Horizon a point of no return
How can someone with no money afford decent food, housing, or anything.
