They wont directly mandate it. What they will do is call it a tax in the Internal Revenue Code. If you have Health Insurance, you will enter a code for the carrier and you will get a credit which will be offset by lower exemption rates. If you dont have it, you wonty get the credit and still have the lower exemption rates. Manipulating the Tax code has been the weapon of circumventing the constitution for decades.,
Then it's all the more reason to support passage of The Fair Tax(HR25/S296) that will replace all federal income taxes with a national sales tax and abolish the IRS!

“Fair Tax”. You wont get an argument from me. I have been listening to and agreeing with Boortz on this for years. But, even he knows congress derives all their powers through the tax code. It is the tax code that they use as a weapon to gain campaign donations and favors. Chances of them adopting the Fair Tax is zero. The only way to do this would be a grass roots effort for a constituional convention and that would be a huge undertaking.
