For the last two days, the Supreme Court has been poring over the 2010 Affordable Health Care Act to determine whether or not the individual mandate, which would require U.S. citizens to purchase health care, should stand. Going into the debate, supporters had high hopes. Now it seems unlikely the mandate will survive. At this point, the judges need to find a "limiting principle," or clear limit to Congress's power in requiring Americans to to have health insurance, or it might fall flat.
However, some believe striking the entire bill dead would do more harm than good. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, "There are so many things in the act. Why make Congress redo that? Why should we stop and start from scratch?" Of course, there's the issue of who will go through the 2,700-page bill and decide which provisions can stay, and Rep. Michele Bachmann warns, "The individual mandate would be the funding stream that makes all of the rest of the act work." Do you think the courts should scrap the individual mandate and try to make it work, kill the entire thing and start from scratch, or just let it stand?

Kill it
+41Get the government out of healthcare all together. I don't want anyone between me and my doctor! This unconstitutional law - if upheld - will be the end of freedom as we know it. We have been on this slippery slope for 50 years or more and are about to go over the cliff. It will not be healthcare or affordable. What a misuse of those two words.
Typical republican who would rather see corporations' welfare being catered to than the people's.
If the Left were even close to being right over how popular this bill is.. They'd have PUSHED for a Constitutional Amendment.. IF they has done this with Hillarycare,, Socialized Healthcare would be part of the COnstitution TODAY..
They crafted the bill without Republicans.., Proposed the bill without the Republicans,, Made whatever changes they were forced to make BY THEIR CONSTITUENCY,, NOT because of ANY Republican and passed the bill without a SINGLE Republican vote..
The American People,, by 85% or better,, HATED this bill from the beginning and STILL hate it by TWO THIRDS today and it's probably the singlemost reason why the Republicans made greater gains in the elections of 2010 then at ANY time since 1938.....
"A new AP poll finds that Americans who think the law should have done more outnumber those who think the government should stay out of health care by 2-to-1."

Assumption? It's common fact that a good majority of Americans don't think the health care reform went far enough.
I asked FBI once who were questioning me to see if I was a threat to the President of USA and or others, I asked him if it was still legal to petition the government and he said yes, so I asked if he was a member and representative of the government and he said yes, so I said to him, well then I petition you to take your weapon to D.C. and find and do the president then do yourself. I told him to arrest me if it was a crime to petition him to do so but I said I never saw any government regulation of what we may petition. He did not arrest me because it is not any crime to petition to have any person killed for any reason one would desire so. You should not fear the government or be intimidated by it, you loose your place among the americans that my God will reward in time with place in a better america and obtain a lesser reward. Just the same, when the go...

Just the same, when the government is right, do not war against it. Personally, I am no threat to any being with my flesh except in the use of it in the supplication of my God against them which latter is a serious harm to them but is absolutely legal and moral right.
We who dissent our governments for abuses and other issues have a right, a duty to urge war against them and rally people to oppose them wholeheartedly. We have no duty to them to say it is not legal to seek their life for crimes we set that value over and seek so.
Be American, demand these leaders serve us and stop their illegal acts with the force of the people and overt action in masses. I tell you, these days with the evil the US does, it should execute every leader after they serve their term to recompense the evil they do, it is a shameful government we have these days. I do not hold loyalty to it in any format and pray constantly evil against it. I do pray God protect and preserve the people who he makes upright and well.
