I am not sure that the state mandate is more dangerous.
California, the largest state is about 10% of the country. If health care overall is 17% of the country, and is also 17% of california, then a California mandate would be 1.7% of the country.
1.7% is much smaller amount at risk than the 17% of the federal, and other states would be smaller yet. If there was an advantage to not having a mandate, some could leave for other states, and the bad effects in the early adopting states could save the later adopting states from ever adopting it.
It would be tough for the states that made a bad policy choice, but that is the breaks for self government. Sometimes bad choices are made, and there has to be a corrective action. Not all corrective action need be in the courts (for unconstitutional laws). Some occurs in private, as new technologies make old laws obsolete. Sometimes new legislation is needed to correct bad legislation.
I think that you are on the wrong web site. Maybe yo Should try DU or the Huffinton Post. You don’ t seem to be able to grasp the concept that socialism and redistribution will destroy the constitution and Obamneycare gives th left the tools with which to do it.
It would be a tyranny of the elite over the regular people.
