Robert Moon discusses how Obama's plan for healthcare is actually going against the people. He feels as if the government is slowly trying to control us by making it appear to be helping us when in actuality it really isn't. Although he may be slightly biased his point still comes across, which is that we the people of the united states have the right to go on health care or not and the government shouldn't be allowed to force us.
This act of kindness from Obama isn't obeying our constitutional right. The tenth amendment states that we do not have to do as government says necessarily. By Obama trying to make everyone get health care he is going way beyond what he was elected to do. Obama's health care plan is a nice plan to help the people, but forcing us to get it is crossing the line and very unconstitutional.
If Obama really just intended to help the people he would've made it where health care is open to those who want it. Unfortunately he didn't which makes me think that he has some type of secret master plan that will be taken into affect once we all get health care. Obama and his party should allow people to get healthcare, but never should he force us to because that is just wrong.

Hi Eboni--good article selection for this amendment. You have some good insights as to whether health care should be a right or a privilege. Could The Prez and Congress argue that health care in constitutional in order to provide for the common defense?
