The concept of the individual federal mandate is perhaps the most dangerous in our lifetimes. It would completely eviscerate the Constitution.

Of course it would.
My guess is that Obama will now try to dump the individual mandate.
He can't go into the next election with the USSC ruling against him and that would be the case if he doesn't drop the IM.

They force us at the point of a gun to buy Social Security and Medicare. How is this any different?
So, I guess if you don't work, you don't have to 'buy' Social Security and Medicare.......You can just starve to death.
SCOTUS is going to have to thread a needle here because Medicare and Social Security are BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
