I was thinking about this today. They're claiming that EVERYONE is in the market. I disagree. I've known people that have never, ever been to a doctor. Born healthy, deal with it if they're sick, and have had zero time in the "market". This mandate, if upheld is decidedly an infringement upon their freedom FROM the medical market or the medical insurance market.
Think Amish.
One of the petitioning lawyers made the statement that failure to buy health insurance does not adversely affect commerce-but defaulting on health care bills is the problem.
Not sure what impact that made, but it really puts this law in proper perspective. The government is trying to solve a problem in one market by requiring participation in another, related market.
No kidding. I live in a supposedly conservative state that requires me to buy liability insurance for my car. I've never ever had a wreck. Why should the state force me to buy liability insurance?

I’m not”in the market.” - I don’t carry health insurance, and I don’t go to doctors unless it is necessary for a work related physical exam, so I don’t get sick.
I don’t take drugs or vaccines; I eat real food (only stuff that was once alive itself) and that is all it takes to stay healthy. We do not need “healthcare” and doctors and drugs do not bring about healing; they only attempt to keep you breathing long enough to make a fortune off of tinkering with your health.
What if only 1000 in us did not see a doctor? Would constitution allow their rights to be violated? Taking clause and 4 the amendment?
