Description

Obama care has been defended as a proper exercise of government power under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, which states that the United States Congress shall have power "To regulate commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes". Under the Commerce Clause, Article 1- Section 8, we have determined that President Obama‘s Health Care Reform Law is unconstitutional and is detrimental to the freedom of all American citizens. We have further determined that the Health Care Reform Law is a raw abuse of power by the federal government and a dangerous extension of the Commerce Clause.
