Mandate, Provide, and Promote  |
| |
|  If I give a starving man a sandwich I am providing.
If I encourage others to give the starving man a sandwich I am promoting.
If I force feed a starving man a sandwich I am mandating.
These words are all different. The Federal government does not have the power to mandate. Now the Federal government can provide or promote, but not mandate. State governments can mandate, and the people that live in those states can leave those states. Though the option to leave one country and go to another country can be very difficult.
The framers of the Constitution recognize this. This is why the newly created Federal government was given specific powers, and from the words of James Madison who wrote the Constitution they are few and well defined. The Tenth amendment was added to explain who has the the rest of the power.

| |  I'm very likely not capable to begin to understand or I have misunderstood but seems I heard the Obama administration has very cleverly set their health care plan up so the head of the IRS you know that pal of Obama Tim the tax cheat that said he dose no even understand turbo tax.
The IRS will over see that every American citizen buys health care insurance and if they refuse to buy this product the Obama administration is selling to the American people the IRS will fine them for filing to comply with the new law that takes effect 2014.
Because this bill has been very cleverly set up with the IRS they then can set mandates on the American people.
I'm one of them mean American's that believes give a man a fish he will not be hungry,teach a man to fish he will never go hungry,guess that thinking is now not acceptable under the new rules of the land.

| | The IRS will be imposing taxation penalties to those that do not have insurance, it will be up to you if you want to pay the penalty or buy insurance. | | | |

You are right about the difference between the three...but congress does not care.

| | If they can mandate insurance they can mandate health care, and everything else. | | | |

| |  Hey there gewcew, please take note because I think you missed it when I agreed with you the last time in a discussion that's probably on page 9 by now. I do agree with you about the mandate. I have been against that from the start because it attempts to step on state's rights.
