Delaying Obamacare's Individual Mandate Due to "Hardship"--Caused by Obamacare
Amy Payne writes at The Foundry:
It’s getting difficult to take any part of Obamacare seriously.
The Obama administration has altered or delayed it so many times -- who can be sure what the law is at this point?
The individual mandate stating that every American has to purchase government-approved health coverage or pay a fine is supposed to kick in on March 31. That’s the deadline to sign up for coverage, supposedly to avoid this year’s penalty.
But Obamacare is never "settled law," as the president and others have called it, because Health and Human Services (HHS) keeps writing more regulations.
There is no constitutional authority for Health and Human Services. Nor can a people be free to live in community with God and man (see the Declaration of Independence) if unconstitutional bureaucracies entrenched in Washington, D.C. can create "law" ("regulations") by the stroke of a pen.
Every scribble is a whipcord against the flesh of freedom.
This is not law, it is lawlessness. This is not freedom, it is unfreedom. About the only thing "settled" in Washington these days is federal tyranny on the banks of the Potomac.
