re: #148 Rightwingconspirator

I’d like to hear the logic of the mandate to purchase being constitutional. Apart from the “public good” argument which is akin to the constitutionality of Manzanar, I just do not see it. They can tax for the money to spend, obviously. Like social security. But notice nobody in the government tries to force us to get an IRA.

Legal minds among us I’m listening carefully to the best argument in favor of the mandate to buy… As soon as I can hear it.

But then how do you justify mandating that hospitals treat people regardless of their ability to pay?
