>> What powers are not specifically given to the Federal Govt. by the US Constitution are reserved to the states: I believe that's what I have stated. At least, it was my intent. So, every state could implement an individual mandate if the legislature implements the appropriate laws. Amendments are just a part of the legislative process.

The 10th Amendment states: The Bill of Rights in the National Archives The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

We should amend the 10th Amendment. <g> The by it is clearly by THE CONSTITUTION. The decision will not be over the first part, which is clear, but over the second part, "nor prohibited by it to the States". and comparing that to a theoretical wording of or prohibited by it to the States
