The Supreme Court and 'Obamacare': An opportunity for a do-over in health care reform

Published March 22, 2012 |

SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN goes "On the Record." 

"MCCAIN: I think it gives us chance to sit down and start over and this time with the object of preserving the quality of health care in America, which is the highest, and bringing the cost down. That was the whole purpose of Obamacare to start with, and obviously it didn't bend the curve down. It bent it up, and it was one of the biggest takeovers, one fifth of our gross domestic product, the healthcare industry in America, put it over and taken over by the federal government.

What Obamacare -- what I think will be declared unconstitutional is the notion that the government can provide a -- prescribe a product, say you have to have certain agreements -- ingredients of it, and then fine you if you don't buy that product or use that product. That's what this whole argument is about. And I believe that it violates the commerce clause of the constitution of the United States. And I cannot believe that in any way you could view it as being constitutional."
