Well, mandating that one drives a car with insurance is pretty much the law in every state...and if you don't have insurance and you drive a car -- there are severe penalties.....including suspension of driving privileges and jail....Roberts decided the individual mandate was constitutional because of the fact that it was a tax.
Yes, yes. A tax "incentive" - which means a grossly discriminatory tax to manipulate people.
Let's say the car industry lobbied Congress to impose a special tax on people who buy used cars, instead of getting a new one every few years? You know, because they're failing to support a nationally important industry. Would you support that as well?
Regulation of health insurance is constitutional on the grounds of the commerce clause.
According to liberals, regulation of every. single. fucking. thing. is constitutional on the grounds of the commerce clause.
It is not a federal mandate that every person have car insurance but that is mainly because the insurance industry successfully lobbied every state to make this a law
