Not my wording, but I can't agree more.
"There are good reasons that your car insurance company doesn’t add $100 per year to your premium and then cover oil changes, and that your health insurance doesn’t charge $50 more per year and cover toothpaste. You’d have to fill out mountains of paperwork, the oil-change and toothpaste markets would become much less competitive, and you’d end up spending more." - John H. Cochrane
"A mandate requiring all individuals to purchase health insurance would be an unprecedented form of federal action. The government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States."
The Supreme Court has agreed to review Obamacare's individual mandate. But you need to repeal Obamacare before that happens. Take action now to free the economy from the crippling uncertainty that Obamacare has caused. We cannot afford to wait for a Supreme Court ruling.
Please understand that the Individual Mandate is NOT AT ALL similar to laws forcing car drivers to purchase liability insurance. Driving is a voluntary act, and the states own the roads. They can set conditions for the use of their roads, and those who don't like it can walk, or take the bus.
Plus, the states only require liability insurance, covering injuries to others. There's no requirement for drivers to insure their own injuries. This approach makes perfect sense -- even private road owners would do the same.
In contrast, Obamacare's Individual Mandate is based on the theory that Congress can regulate anything and everything -- without limit. Obamacare even regulates non-action, by fining people who don't buy health insurance. Under this theory we will soon reach the point where everything not expressly forbidden will be mandatory.
