Freedom of movement without restriction long considered an individual right

Reading through the 381,517 words of the Obamacare bill, American Thinker’s Stella Paul discovered something overlooked in the ongoing discussion about the law — it discourages freedom of travel.
The Founders included the Privileges and Immunities Clause in Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution because they understood the importance of freedom of movement. A similar provision was contained in the Articles of Confederation prior to the drafting of the Constitution. James Madison discussed freedom of movement in the Federalist Papers. He wrote that “those who come under the denomination of free inhabitants of a State, although not citizens of such State, are entitled, in every other State, to all the privileges of free citizens of the latter; that is, to greater privileges than they may be entitled to in their own State.” Alexander Hamilton also addressed the proposed Privileges and Immunities Clause to the Constitution in Federalist No. 80.
From the Magna Carta onward, the idea that a free individual shall be allowed to travel without the interference of the state became a fundamental right. In previous eras, kings and emperors restricted the travel of citizens, merchants and serfs as part of an effort to control humanity, often for political reasons. For instance, when Augustus established the Roman Empire in 27 BC he imposed monarchical powers over his subjects and prevented senators and others from traveling freely.
According to Stella Paul, Obamacare will indirectly impose limitations on travel. “Americans are among the most mobile people on earth, but ObamaCare may soon start freezing them in place,” she writes. “Millions are losing their health insurance policies and being forced onto the ObamaCare exchanges, where most plans only provide local medical coverage.” Millions of Americans “will have their insurance as a consideration for their mobility, which they never had before.”
