Answer; Of course not. But our unprincipled criminals in Washington don’t care about that. CNSNews.com interviews several democrat congressmen to answer the question. Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) says he is “not aware” of the Constitution giving Congress the authority to make individuals purchase health insurance, as the health care bills in both the House and Senate require.
When asked where specifically the Constitution authorized Congress to mandate that individuals buy health insurance, Sen. Jack Reed (D.-R.I.) said that he “would have to check the specific sections” but said that it was like making people “sign up for the draft.”
So this idiot, Jack Reed is citing one unconstitutional measure to support another.
The Interview

It is no exaggeration to state that military conscription is better suited for a totalitarian government, such as the recently dethroned Taliban regime, than a free society”. (Read This Article)
Congress does not care about the Constitution. They only care about getting around it.
