  1. Car insurance mandate is a state law. Nothing in the Constitution prevents states from establishing it. The Constitution gives direct powers to the federal government, no where does it say forcing citizens to participate in healthcare. Healthcare insurance mandates would be Constitutional at the state level. Also, it is a balance between allowing you to travel freely and creating order in this nation. You can travel freely by walking, but driving is much easier and more efficient. That comes with responsibilities when you do it in public which is why we have laws. A part of that is having liability insurance in case you cause damage to other property or people. You can drive to your heart's content with no license and no insurance if you stay in private land, but in public there is a desire to have order and that is what insurance does. This is also part of the reason why DUI checkpoints do not violate the 4th amendment. Read the Sitz v Michigan Department of State Police, they say similar things. In comparison we have a right to bear arms. We can own guns, keep them concealed in our homes, shoot them in private land to our heart't content. In public, however, many states have CCW and open carry laws. That does not violate the 2nd amendment as we can still own a gun, but in public there are restrictions to maintain order. It is all about you interacting in public. Now with healthcare insurance mandate the argument is this, in the ER you cannot be denied care. The problem that creates is that many without insurance go to the ER, receive care, and cannot pay. Thus by forcing people to have insurance means that they are no longer a liability to the public. Much like you are not a liability to the public if you have car insurance and you accidentally cause an accident. There are arguments on both sides on these issues, but that is the idea behind them.

  3. Chances are you will be fine. If you get too poor you will be placed on medicaid. I know poor people who had cancer and were fine. Plus, also, the harsh reality is this, your one case does not represent the norm. I feel bad for you but this decision will help out society even more. Find a charity, find help from friends and family. I know your situation is tough but we cannot change our entire healthcare system because of one person. That is the reality.

  5. Relfex, the counter argument is that if people refuse to buy insurance at a younger age then that is their choice. They suffer the consequences.

  6. Exactly. Democrats played a dirty game to get Obamacare passed and now republicans are doing that to get rid of it. This is the exact problem people on the right talk about when they speak of limited government.
