Chuck Schumer: Seniors Could Have To Pay Government $250 If Health Care Reform Is Repealed

We've had mandated health insurance nearly since the inception of the Constituti­on. You should know a little bit of history and law before you go spouting it.



"In July of 1798, Congress passed – and President John Adams signed - “An Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen.” The law authorized the creation of a government operated marine hospital service and mandated that privately employed sailors be required to purchase health care insurance.



Keep in mind that the 5th Congress did not really need to struggle over the intentions of the drafters of the Constituti­ons in creating this Act as many of its members were the drafters of the Constituti­on."
