The healthcare bill is causing a big uproar. Today Bill McCollum, the attorney general of Florida, stated that when President Obama signs the healthcare bill into law there will also be a lawsuit filed. This lawsuit would be filed in part with 10 states, Florida, Alabama, Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington. They will argue in their lawsuit that it is unconstitutional to mandate Americans to buy healthcare coverage. Also, this bill would force states to spend money they don't have and that would be a violation of the 10th amendment of the Constitution. Despite all this, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has already announced that the Obama administration believes they will win any possible lawsuit filed against this healthcare bill.It is great that Obama wants to have healthcare for everyone. However, it is not the right time to be pushing such a costly bill onto the American taxpayers and future generations. The people who presently do not have healthcare in many cases can't afford it and passing a bill to mandate healthcare coverage is only going to make it harder for these individuals. Then, if some are unable to pay for healthcare coverage the cost will simply be passes on to others. It is not right but it's likely what will happen. Not to mention it should be an individuals choice to decide whether or not he or she wants healthcare. It should not be mandated! Overall, I believe this bill will simply be adding to our deficit. The United States and the American people cannot afford a spendy bill like this, especiallly when it is taking away a bit of our freedom of choice.

I believe that that the states do have the right to a lawsuit against the Healthcare bill. The people of the United States don't want public healthcare. These states realize this and are trying to listen th what their people want. I believe that many people can live without healthcare and manage just fine. The people with healthcare would have to pay more than what they already are paying and the ones that can't afford it have to get healthcare or be fined for more than what the healthcare costs. I personally am doing perfectly fine without healthcare and I don't have the money to pay for healthcare.
