Special Message From the League of American Voters

Why the Supreme Court Must Act
Obamacare Is Unconstitutional

The most important question before the U.S. Supreme Court, and one of the most significant hot-button issues facing the nation, is whether President Barack Obama's healthcare reform bill is constitutional or unconstitutional.

The court's recent hearing of arguments about the law shows that serious constitutional issues have been raised about the most sweeping legislation in modern times.

The League of American Voters has steadfastly opposed the Obamacare legislation on constitutional and other grounds.

The law will cost taxpayers over $1 trillion, add massive new regulations with enforcement agencies, cut Medicare by $500 billion for those who paid into the system — while adding tens of millions of new people to the system. A bevy of new taxes and fees will be used to pay for the program.

There are political matters, but there are significant constitutional ones as well.
