ObamaCare

A side road through a political mine field -

Today is a historic day because the Supreme Court released its opinion that ObamaCare is constitutional.   Honestly I have mixed emotions about this.  I am somewhat taken aback that the Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government has the right to require us to purchase something.   While you might argue that this was a necessity to get healthcare under control, the fact is that this precedent has now been set and one has to wonder what else the government can now require us to do.

I am already hearing outcries that since the Supreme Court has ruled it constitutional, that it must be repealed.   Perhaps so.  As one friend opined, just because a law is constitutional, does not necessarily mean that it is a good law.   But, suppose the law is repealed.   What would it then be replaced with?   Given the decision of the Supreme Court, it would seem to me that there is a more prudent way to proceed.

First of all, I think all of the arguments regarding the constitutionality of the law should now stop.  We have a decision from our Supreme Court and accordingly, we should recognize its ruling and accept it.   That is the way our government is designed.   It is no more acceptable to show contempt for the US Supreme Court, than it is to show contempt for Congress or contempt for the Office of President.  Like it or not, ObamaCare is constitutional.

Secondly, since it is constitutional, I think that we (all of us) should examine what is acceptable to us all and agree to accept it.   Then let's work on the parts that are objectionable and find reasonable compromises.    In my humble opinion, we will end up with a better law by this method than by having alternating parties in power completely starting from scratch every few years.  

Just my opinion.  

Speaking of opinions, if you need some advice regarding real estate, give me a call.  I am a licensed real estate broker in Kentucky and Indiana and I specialize in Commercial Real Estate.   I works with Buyers, Sellers, Landlords, Tenants and Investors.  I handle Office, Industrial, Land, Retail and Investment properties.  Heck I can even set you up with a residential realtor.  Anyway, I would love to help. 

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
