Our current President, Barack Obama, is attempting to create a healthcare law that would require all Americans to purchase a healthcare plan. It is called the “Affordable Healthcare Act” or commonly known on the street as “Obama Care”. While it would be nice to have every US citizen own healthcare, there are many issues and problems that have arisen with the plan. Many US citizens are against the law for various reasons, while there are others who believe the law would be positive addition to the country. The Affordable Healthcare Act is only going to hurt this country even more. There have been many critics saying the act is unconstitutional, due to the government forcing the people to buy something. The healthcare plans being sold are very expensive so it would insure that the poor stay poor. The Healthcare act just will not work in this government or economy; the taxes will hurt the middle class. The Affordable Health Care Act has been given the reputation as being unconstitutional. It attacks the basis of a free society based on the US constitution. The government should not have the power to decide the purchases its people make. This remark is clarified in the 16th Amendment of the US Constitution: “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.” It has been made clear through media, social networks, and polls that a majority of the people are against the law. The Supreme Court ruled the healthcare mandate under legislation is a tax. Many researchers have stated that the tax does not satisfy the requirements of any of the three types of valid constitutional taxes – income, excise or direct, therefore it is unconstitutional.
The Affordable Health Care act is also going to insure that the poor stay poor. So get ready to be blindsided by a plethora of new taxes, about $569
