"Keep in mind that the 5th Congress did not really need to struggle over the intentions of the drafters of the Constitutions in creating this Act as many of its members were the drafters of the Constitution."

"Clearly, the nation's founders serving in the 5th Congress, and there were many of them, believed that mandated health insurance coverage was permitted within the limits established by our Constitution."

This seems like a fallacy of composition, and done so to try and persuade the reader. By my rough count, just 6 of the original founders that signed the Constitution were still in Congress at this time, or just 18% of the signers[1]. There's no roll call vote that I can find, but signer Charles Pinckney had voiced general oppositions and thought "it only reasonable and equitable that these persons pay for the benefit for which they were themselves to receive, and it would be neither just nor fair for other persons to pay it"[2]

"And when the Bill came to the desk of President John Adams for signature, I think it’s safe to assume that the man in that chair had a pretty good grasp on what the framers had in mind."

This just points to the same argument that's always being made between Spirit vs Letter of the law proponents, ~4% of Congress during the 5th Congress were signers of the Constitution and we don't know how they even voted on this. So ~96% of Congress were basically in the Spirit vs Letter dispute that we're in today.
