I didn't think even you would post a gotcha video like this, but I was wrong.
Some one is jealous...

Really fascinating reading, I wish I had time to read the whole thing.
States do not require people to purchase cars, nor purchase houses.... which invalidates your "requirement" argument as it applies to ObamaCare and the mandate.

could you give us a few paragraphs of summary?
What part of the bolded was confusing?
come on ms., it was a polite & friendly request.
there's no need for that.
Shouldn't they rule, in part, based on the fact that this is now determined by the CBO to be twice as expensive as when it was sold to us?
Yes, if the individual mandate is rejected, Obamcare loses its ability to "attract" customers to "Fed Cross" in sufficient numbers to adequately fund everyone's medical procedures, thereby making approval of procedures funded by the government insurance carrier much more dfficult to obtain than privately and at least equally as expensive regarding deductible and co-pay.I think the individual mandate will be upheld.
The Federal government has the power to tax, that's a given. Does it have the power to tax if you don't do something? I think SCOTUS will find that it does. If not, Obamacare is gutted.
...Without the individual mandate, all we (mostly) do is just add another medical insurance carrier to the list, a government-run medical insurance carrier.
Absolutely true .. for now.um....what are you talking about?
their is no government-controlled healthcare insurance, as part of Obamacare.
Absolutely true .. for now.
We all know what the Obamacare goal is, though: socialized medicine, with Fed Cross as the single-payer.
Best to push the camel's nose out from under the tent now .. or the rest is sure to follow later.
Indeed, if the individual mandate falls .. the camel may be ousted
The conspricy theory forum is further down.
Probably, 'cause if Obamacare is ever installed full-bore, we'll all get screwed.Look further down? When I followed your advice, I only saw my crotch.
Wouldn't that make the sex forum a more likely destination?

Best is to remove employers from the discrimination-in-hiring causing burden of providing healthcare policies.if the individual mandate fails, we take a step closer to UHC, as we should have in the first place. if mandating individual participation in the private health insurance market due to the inevitability of eventual need is found to fall outside of the commerce clause, an expansion of medicare to address the same problem won't be.
the mandate is among the last, best hopes of prolonging our inefficient, employer-based, for-profit health insurance boondoggle. that's probably why Republican think tanks backed it before Obama entered the equation.
Actually, it's more than that. The other wonderful thing about Obamacare is that insurance carriers will no longer be able to exclude individuals based on pre-existing conditions. This is a Godsend to millions of people.
In group insurance, those covered by their employers, the group is not allowed to exclude covering an employee because of pre-existing conditions. It's been that way forever. And everyone employed by a company with a group policy must be enrolled. That's why most people don't understand what the problem is -- most people get group health insurance.
The other poor saps who lose their jobs, try to go in business for themselves, or retire early are left out in the cold when they are denied coverage based on pre-existing conditions or those pre-existing conditions are excluded.
The individual mandate is absolutely essential. Without it, insurance premiums will skyrocket.
