Health Insurance Mandate Wouldn't Be America's Only Mandate

There's a Medicare payroll tax on workers and employers, for example, and a requirement that hospitals provide free emergency services to indigents. (and illegal aliens) Health care is full of government dictates, some arguably more intrusive than President Barack Obama's overhaul law

Ginsburg brought up Social Security as an example, likening it to a government old-age annuity that everyone is forced to purchase.

Other federal health care mandates include:

The 1986 Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act.
The 1996 Mental Health Parity Act.
The 1996 Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act.

George Washington, a socialist, mandate to buy guns.
In 1790, the very first Congress…..a requirement that ship owners buy medical insurance for their seamen.Militia Acts of 1792.
George Washington’s individual mandates


ObamaCare forces people to take personal responsibility for their own medical care and not continue to use ER and pass the cost on to others that pay for healthcare insurance. People are forced to buy auto insurance if they own and operate a car and buy uninsured motorist coverage to cover the uninsured driver.

...unless they can't afford insurance, in which case the cost will be passed on to others that pay for healthcare insurance.

You don't have to have insurance. You can either not own a car or operate it solely on private land.

Obamacare forces people to buy something simply because they're alive.
