It's funny how this thread title says "You make the call." It's not up to random members of an online forum whether or not it's constitutional. Whether or not it's constitutional is something that has to be decided by the Supreme Court, based on their understanding of the Constitution.

What do you think this is, a democracy? ;)

The govt has never been able to force anyone to purchase anything, The United Supreme Court will strike down the Manitory part, if they do the entitre law is useless. The funds come from the mandatory part, Congree will have to approve funds The vote will beclose to 5-4 against Unless one choses to withdraw do to conflict of interest, Poor day in the Constitution jmo

Oh, I can love my neighbor even if he or she has poor grammar. But if I can't understand what he or she is saying, then posting on a social blog site like this is kinda useless.

If something I posted didn't make sense to someone, I would want them to ask me for clarification. Do unto others.

obama care is a bad thing. If we allow that to go through we are going to lose more freedoms. Make us by insurance, then a electric car, then electric yard tools etc then on and on. We need to stop the government from doing what it was not designed to do. They need to get out of the private sector, religion and health care. Just think, what has to government really run well, and we want them looking over our health, I don't think so..As a vet, I went to nam to protect the freedom of the citizens of the United States, not to give the government more power.

Is it just me, or does reading iamsoandso's posts make anyone else want to do an intervention, too?

So... who's paying for all the people who don't have jobs and their bills? If you are poor and can't afford it and don't have a job, someone else is gonna be paying it for you right? I really don't see how a mandate is gonna help. People are always gonna be paying someone else's bill because so many are too lazy to get jobs. And even now if you go to the emergency room, it's always these people plugging it up. My brother and his wife are drug bums with no jobs. They ALWAYS go to the emergency room for stupid stuff like a stomach ache or whatever. We already have to pay for stupid people like that. How is the health care bill gonna change that?

Also, I'm curious... since it will be a mandate, will jobs that provide health care now stop providing since you need to buy it anyway? I really don't see jobs giving you your money if they stop paying for health care. Like that is part of your pay, health care. If my job did stop paying for health care and my check went up because that money now goes to me instead and I buy my own, I wouldn't care. But do you really think jobs are gonna do that or just drop it off and you get paid the same amount and now you have to pay for health care on top of it?

I'm not very savy on this whole thing and I'm not really sure where I should stand though I lean for against it currently.
@acesneverwin.You should be careful of what you write.I have family members that aren't bums,they have jobs but they still can't afford healthcare.You wrote this,"And even now if you go to the emergency room,it's always these people plugging it up."I'm going to go out on a limb and say,I doubt most of the people who go to the emergency room for things that you consider to be "stupid stuff" are there because it's fun and they love waiting countless amount of hours for minimum care.They're there because they can't afford healthcare,which usually means that they don't have a primary doctor.Which brings me back to my point.Most people that go to the emergency room have jobs,but they still can't afford healthcare.In my opinion healthcare shouldn't be a privilege.I don't like the idea of a mandate that requires people who can't afford it,to by it anyway or be penalize.

Why the sole superpower on earth has having difficulty on healthcare but never on budgets for military and weapons' upgrade?

I heard Cuban healthcare is far better than in the US.
