NC Dist 4 Congressman David Price proves what DC doesn't know



This is hard to hear but it certainly proves exactly what we in Dist 4 know, Congressman Price isn't listening anyway. At a scheduled meeting with constituents it was pretty obvious none of Congressman Price's supporters showed up... perhaps there just aren't any left.

The first question "What part of the Constitution gives Congress the right to mandate health care insurance?" Price noted the Commerce Clause after someone passed him a pocket copy of the Constitution opened to the Commerce Claus.

The Commerce Clause is an enumerated power listed in the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). The clause states that the United States Congress shall have power "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes".

You know what's missing there Mr. Price? The people. This claus does not give Congress to mandate the people to purchase something.

He also states that the President interprets the Constitution, that's funny because I believe that is what the supreme court does.

Price is faced with the question I've been asking both him and Kay Hagan, the majority of people do not want this Health Care plan; so why have you voted for it.

In the end when asked about a specific section of the Health Care bill, it became evident that Congressman Price had not read that section. Typical.
