The Death of Obamacare

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) told then-Speaker-designate John Boehner that he should not bother to pass a repeal of Obamacare as the repeal would die in the Senate. Boehner’s response went something like this: Thank you for reminding us and the American people of the backroom deal that you struck behind closed doors with “Big Pharma,” resulting in bigger profits for the drug companies and higher prescription drug costs for 33 million seniors enrolled in Medicare part D at a cost to the taxpayers of $42.6 billion. The House will pass a repeal of Obamacare.
Since Obamacare (the reason for the Pelosi comment: we have to pass it so that we can know what it says) will be bad news for everyone in the military community, I’m delighted to see that the House will begin the disassembly of that unconstitutional piece of work. If you’re curious why I say it’s unconstitutional, just find for me anywhere in the constitution where the government has any input or control on health care—it ain’t there. Be sure you then read the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution.
