LA will have to get in line behind Virginia. We were the first to call Bullshit on this pathetic excuse for a law. And there are 15 more states getting ready to do the same.
You cannot FORCE citizens to buy something. Unconstitutional. Apparently you can read either.
You can FORCE them to pay tax on their income, says so in the damn 16th amendment. I dunno what makes you think the state of Virginia or Louisiana is going to be able to stop the IRS from garnishing bank accounts or income. Once the IRS finds you, they have very efficient means of taking what you owe.
That has nothing to do with it. The law says you must buy insurance or pay a fine. It doesn't call it a tax, it calls it a fine.
Sorry, wrong. It calls it a tax. Why did you think it called it a fine? My guess is you didn't actually read the law, and just made up in your head what you wanted it to say?

If you have to pay a fine, that's a penalty, therefore the government intends to FORCE the population to purchase something. UNCONSTITUTIONAL period.
Its functionally equivalent to making everyone pay the tax but offering a credit equal to the tax if you have health insurance. By your logic, education tax credits are unconstitutional because they penalize people for not going to school.
