How does the commerce clause in the Constitution apply to The healthcare bill?

Question by Chris: How does the commerce clause in the Constitution apply to The healthcare bill?
Any additional parts of the Constitution that might be construed to allocate the federal Government authority to provide healthcare would be appreciated as well.
I’m seriously trying to understand the pro healthcare crowds arguments on this and would appreciate a actual answer. If ya start with the insults, I’ll just assume it’s because you’re unable to explain your position according to the Constitution. If you can come up with a reasonable answer, (even If I disagree with ya) I’ll give the answer to ya. Give respect, get respect.

Well, it could be viewed as interstate commerce which is clearly in the realm of the federal government. Unfortunately, I don’t know how much the new law increased our ability to buy across state borders (a repub idea).

Either way, that still doesn’t give the government the right to mandate where you spend your money.

Is it absurd to literally apply the Constitution to situations the founding fathers could not have envisioned?

Question by Big Beautiful Man: Is it absurd to literally apply the Constitution to situations the founding fathers could not have envisioned?
Many people like to say they are for strict interpretation of the Constitution. Fine. However, there are many problems, issues, and situations that aren’t directly dealt with by the Constitution and/or were in fact totally inconceivable to the founding fathers.

For example, the internet. While it certainly affects interstate commerce and thus the Constitution would say that Congress has the power to regulate it, is that really what the founding fathers intended? How could we possibly know what they would have wanted or if they would have written the Constitution the same way if they had taken that into account?

Why should we assume the wisdom of a document at face value in any situation when the realities it is applied to could not have been predicted by its makers?

Does the freedom of information act only apply to federal government? Or does it also apply to state and local? Try to cite your information if you give me an answer. Because I asked this question before. And I got different answers……
