Wait until you read this... A retired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire proposed healthcare bill. Read his conclusions and pass this on as you wish.

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. That 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 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.

AFTER HAVING READ THIS, PLEASE FORWARD....
If you don't care about our constitution, or your rights under it, just do nothing.
WE MUST HOLD CONGRESS ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
