Rubio proposes a Constitutional Amendment to Invalidate the ObamaCare Mandate

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, one of the leading Republican presidential hopefuls for 2016, Tuesday called for a constitutional amendment to push back against President Barack Obama’s federal health-care law. 
Rubio is drawing on the conservative movement to support his proposed amendment, which supporters have dubbed the Right to Refuse Amendment. 
Right-of-center organizations supporting his proposal include Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), the R Street Institute, American Commitment, the Center for Individual Freedom (CFIF) and the National Taxpayers Union (NTU).
The text of Rubio’s proposed amendment, sponsored in the House by U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo, R-Miss., is “Congress shall make no law that imposes a tax on a failure to purchase goods or services,” which takes direct aim at the mandated benefits enacted by the law. 
“Obamacare is a disastrous policy that is not only destructive to job creation, it will also unleash the corrupt and scandal-ridden IRS on taxpayers simply for not buying health insurance,” said Rubio on Tuesday. “We should put our faith in the American people to decide what goods and services they want to buy, not have Congress dictate it and have the IRS empowered to harass Americans to make sure they do it. Let’s do everything we can to keep the IRS out of our health care and stop future Congresses from forcing private citizens to spend their hard-earned money on products or services Washington is forcing on them.”

He's just trying to deflect attention from his amnesty bill. Word is he's trying to find a way out of the Gang of 8.

I Agree.

Marco, This is more like it.

But now you still need to walk away from the Immigration Bill until the other 7 in the gang are willing to SECURE THE BORDER first. If you don't what RWN posted above is what 99.99% of folks will think

I wish I could have gotten odds on the chances of a bonehead statement like that.

"Word is he's trying to find a way out of the Gang of 8"

lol, love to see the 'authority' of whom 'said the word'. He'll walk if it don't do what he feels is necessary.

In a bonehead's 'mind' I guess it was.
