I've been thinking this over the last few days. What happens when the mandate is removed?
The legal challenges to ACA led to the Court saying the Feds have constitutional authority for the act due to the tax and spend clause of the constitution. The mandate is a tax, therefore the act is constitutional.
But if the mandate is removed wouldn't what remains be unconstitutional? If there is no tax what authorizes the act when the tax part is removed?
