The outrage here is apparent. The solution is to get involved an hour or more a day. If this legislation cant be beaten now it will be challenged in court. That will cost money and will require a commitment of time and money to defeat what is arguably the biggest take over of a private sector by government in the history of the world. Our government will use their power and our money to try and defeat our will. They think this issue will go away over time
we must not allow that, it is about your freedom to choose what is best for you..

The government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States, Really? So I don't have to pay Social Security taxes? I don't have to pay medicare taxes? All this time I thought I was being forced to buy gubmint run retirement insurance and gubmint run health insurance. I guess I'll stop paying those taxes then!

“The mandate also can penalize people with a surtax ranging from $500 to nearly $1,500 per year if they do not have a health insurance policy.”
So they’re idea is to tax people who do nothing, huh?
How about taxing those who don’t go out and get a job??

There will be a lawsuit to strip out the fee and individual mandate. Its a good bet the IRS is going to have to wait until the courts rule whether it has the authority to enforce them.

I am a private citizen. They cannot use the interstate commerce clause to force me to purchase an insurance policy against my will.
I’ll see them in court or in hell. I refuse to give up my Liberty to usurpers!

I would call this plausible deniability, except it’s so implausible on it’s face that it’s more like cognitive dissonance than anything else. If Feinstein dripped with any more contemptuous arrogance, the acid would eat the floor out from underneath her and she’d fall through the hole.

The commerce clause has been perverted to pass a lot of BAD legislation, overlooking the rest of the Constitution.

They cannot use the interstate commerce clause to force me to purchase an insurance policy against my will. The elephant in the room is social security and medicare. Isn't that a "public option" retirement plan we are forced to buy? How about Medicare? Isn't that a "public option" health plan for seniors we are forced to buy? However they justified those (commerce clause?) will be how they justify this.

Let’s just hope the jack booted dems don’t buy off, extort or threaten said judges. We are fast evolving into a 3rd world dictatorship.

Fine.
They made their laws, now let them enforce them.
Refuse to pay the fines, if any are assessed. Go to jail. Then appeal the sentence based on the Constitutionality of the law which you consider to be unjust.
Murderers have been turned loose on flimsier interpretations of the law and Constitution.
If ten thousand, nay, ten times ten thousand made such an appeal to the law, could they be long ignored?
And that is what we want, to force the supposed elected officials to STOP IGNORING US.
They are supposed to represent US, not George Soros International, or the Wahhabist Islamic jihadists, or the Peoples’ Republic of China.
