The individual mandate says that a citizen must buy health insurance for himself, or be fined.

Should a citizen be allowed to ride on the backs of others for the health care that he might need, at any moment?

The precedent has been set rightly or wrongly depending on your point of view....

A citizen must file his income tax return or be fined.

Should a citizen be allowed to choose not to pay his income tax without consequence and be allowed to ride for free on the backs of others who do?
This is commerce,effects commerce, yours mine and the governments.

Why does a citizen who turns 65,Lane3, and wants to stay on a private health insurance plan, not be allowed to do so?
This is commerce,effects commerce, yours mine and the governments.

Taxes and medicare have been mandated by the government,period. The question becomes if the government can mandate the paying of taxes,effecting everyones commerce and mandate medicare on it's citizens after age 65,effecting everyones commerce...why is the "individual mandate" before the supreme court? It should not be.

The answer is the dishonest..(Reagan bamboozled) Republican party...period.

Nice to know that one of the" just" knows about the commerce of broccoli.lol
