I heard an interesting interview with the AG from the State of Virginia - they will be challenging this thing as unconstitutional because it forces individuals to pay for an open market product. If the deal had been for a single payer system - the same system no matter what state you are in, etc. - then it could be considered a represented tax. But with the limitations on competition put in place by the bill, and it not being single payer, with each state having to buy local and so forth - there are supposedly so many holes in it from a constitutional law standpoint that it may likely easily go down in flames in Federal court.

I don't think health care is a 'right' but I do think we should take care of our own in some way. Maybe this means we pull up stakes of all the protection we do of the rest of the countries that do have nationalized health care systems and just pay for our own health care. Leave Canada to it's own devices and let them feel the heat of Russia breathing down their necks completely on their own. Let's see how loudly they crow about their great health care system then.
