It seems the tv media is finally starting to call out the GOP for
railing against the individual mandate provision as being
unconsitutional - when that was originally a REPUBLICAN proposal from
the 1993-94 healthcare reform effort! ...

It gets even more ridiculous and ironic...

I heard Congressman Jim Clyburn say that he got his staff to chart the
President's healthcare reform bill and compare it with what Bob Dole and
other Republicans were preposing 17 years ago.... most people today seem
to have MASS amnesia and thus wouldn't believe how alike these plans
are!

I did a search and found an article that really SHOULD dispel ANY notion
that Obama's plan is some radical Socialist/Communist gov't. takeover!
... It's LESS liberal than Clinton's, and maybe a bit less liberal than
Nixon's ideas too!

You think the clowns and ringmasters at FOX or the Teabaggers are gonna
let any of their sheep know about any of this?... Uh, that would be a
NO!

Arguably the 9th and 10th amendments - as does half the stuff Congress
does already.
