And the government (fed, state and local) is not required to provide free medical services to the uninsured, but it does to the tune of $billions upon $billions that we simply cannot continue afford without significant structural reforms. Requiring everyone to purchase insurance is a way to rationalize the delivery of health services, with private health insurers still taking center stage. Ironically, many Reps starting including Romney have argued for this approach forcefully and eloquently. It was only when this became associated with a Democratic health bill that Reps suddenly concluded that it was a bad idea.

It will be quite ironic if as a result of this activist court decision, a future Congress concludes that a single payer government-run system is the only way to appropriately distribute costs and benefits in the absence of the ability to require all of us to purchase insurance from private insurers.
