Great! This will be the way to put the nail into this socialist coffin. A law that compels a citizen to engage in a commercial activity under penalty of law is clearly unconstitutional. I doubt that even most “socialist democracies” have such intrusive and draconian laws. The US Constitution will become an instrument for the federal government to impose any mandate on its subjects.
We must get busy in the state legislatures and AG offices to oppose this legislation.
The model is based on the European Health care system. Everyone is required under penalty of law, to have health insurance (we are free to choose the provider though)
