Behold, the entire Tenth Amendment to the Constitution:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Specifically, the federal government has never been delegated any powers related to healthcare. One of the powers reserved to you, the people, is your inhernet power and authority to obtain or refrain from obtaining healthcare.
For the feds to assert control over your healthcare, they must usurp power that has not been given them. They steal it from the soverign people, and will exercise it in unauthorized tyranny.
“The path we have to pursue is so quiet that we have nothing scarcely to propose [to Congress]. A noiseless course, not meddling with the affairs of others, unattractive of notice, is a mark that society is going on in happiness.”
- President Thomas Jefferson
Of course, this is yet another example of why having a large standing army was contrary to the founding principles of the nation – when the leaders get bored, they begin employing the military in ever more creative ways.
