Stone: Do you think it’s fair to send people to jail who don’t buy health insurance?The Dems, including Obama in a recent interview, keep trotting out the comparison between jailing people for not buying Obamacare and jailing people for not buying car insurance. They believe that comparison means a government-mandated purchase of a consumer product is constitutional.
Pelosi: … The legislation is very fair in this respect.
Only problem is there is no requirement that every citizen buy car insurance. Yes, in many states you have to buy it if you own a car, but if you choose not to own a car (or for various reasons can't own a car), you're not required to make that purchase. According to Obamacare, you will have to have health insurance no matter what. It's kind of ironic because your freedom to choose will be eliminated, and we know how much the libs love things that are pro-choice.
Should Obamacare pass with this provision in place I've got to believe a court challenge will come along almost instantly. You never know how the courts will respond, but I think it would be a real stretch for a court to find a constitutional right of the government to mandate a purchase.

The last time I checked, I still had to have uninsured motorist protection on my automobile policy. According to http://www.doniglaw.com/CM/Articles/Articles8.asp, approximately one out of every three motorists in CA are uninsured. Is it wrong to yell "You Lie!" every time someone trots out the canard that "...everyone has to buy automobile insurance"?
Good heavens, where will they house all these people who refuse to pay this mandate?...What type of soul would go to Washington and vote to send people to jail with such a massive errant money grab? Only fools. (Past)Time to ask for resignation.
