because "“I believe Oklahomans should have the freedom to choose their own healthcare and insurance plans" has a better ring than "i believe that a profit driven corporate entity should choose who gets to live"

How silly. I wonder how many of those people will want health care if one of their kids get sick and gets dropped from having any coverage? OR if they get sick and reach the current 1mill limit on most medical policies. Just don't cross the border to another state, stay there….and continue with those backwards views. Oklahoma seemed to be more to the center when I was growing up there, but they are far right off on the side of the road, driving over potholes and ditches now. Oklahoma means red man, get a clue…. Geez, who would want to even visit a place like that? Gun commercials have taken over the car commercials–this is not the BUSH, it's America, modern America, let's hope we continue to lead instead of packing guns to Wal-Mart, and Denny's–how silly is that? Just because you have a right to do something, you don't have to actually do it. You also have a right to walk around nude on a nude beach, that doesn't mean you actually need to do it, let's hope for the sake of sanity, keep you clothes on, and your gun in your house.

The example you gave is terrible.

why do you think the feds were raiding medicinal marijuana shops/factories in california?

For the exact reason that federal law supercedes state law.

Too bad both of your examples are bogus. Are you as misinformed or as thugish as the people you criticise?

Irony at its best.

"Is Brogdon forgetting all the Americans who lose their insurance when their insurance company learns they are sick, all the procedures they refuse to pay for and all the people that totally lose their insurance when they lose their jobs?"

Answer: Yes.

20 bucks says it'll be constitutional: commerce clause. Whether you like it or not, precedence is there for that argument.

Federal law does not trump state law. Read the 10th amendment. Anything not specifically granted by the constitution for the feds to do (mandate health insurance) is reserved for the states. The fed has no constitutional authority to pass this bill.
