Not comparing health insurance to car insurance. Displaying a precedent of why mandating health insurane is constitutional. The concept of government mandating insurance on people and fining them if they don't comply, is not a foreign concept, so you can pretend it is if it makes you feel better. It is consitutional. What's unconstituinoal is DC not being a state. Ooops that would be two more democratic senators, is this a case of politics over the constitution? Also, I was giving the reasons why health insurance should be mandated.
