No, unless they paid fair value for the trillions of dollars they would be seizing.
They can’t afford it.
Yes. If it was a government-run program, paid for by taxes NOT a mandate. See my Post #119 ...

No. Nothing in the Constitution empowers Congress to do such a thing. Granted, they are not empowered to do most of what they do. The only reason Obamacare, unlike the rest of Congresses illegal laws, is in danger of being struck down is that the mandate is so painfully obviously unconstitutional that it smacks you in the face and makes you pay attention to that dusty old document.
