As proposed, individual mandates to carry health insurance and other aspects of national health care reform are unconstitutional. Since Article I, Section 8 does not authorize Congress to implement a health insurance mandate or universal health care plan; Congress should be talking about a constitutional amendment under Article V. To read more about the individual mandate, health insurance and their relationship to the United States Constitution, I have itemized and linked all recent articles on the subject at: http://healthcarereform.homestead.com.

What Senator Warner forgets is that the constitution limits government, not individuals. If Senator Warner thinks the federal government should have the right to implement federal control of health care, he should fight for a constitutional amendment allowing the federal government to do so. Same with Social Security, medicare, medicaid and education. There is no place in the constitution that gives the federal government the right to intrude in these areas.
