No, but the government gives them away if you get any form of welfare....
That means we are already being forced to buy cell phones, with our taxes, and giving them to the ignorant and lazy entitlement class.

Is the guy without one going to be able to get one when he needs it anyway and stick me with the bill?

What the hell is this "market" baloneySocialization of the insurance market. Obama pretends to be providing a service (not forcing you to buy - he's taking care of you!) by usurping and regulating this market.

What I don’t understand is why anyone, the Justices in particular, accept the premise that buying health insurance is the only way one can pay for their personal health care?

Colorado.
There are ways around it.
If they imposed that where I am, I’d simply violate the law in a way they couldn’t catch me.
However, it does point to what the next item of control will be - water. One of the most abundant substances on earth, will be rationed and taxed.

Can the government force you to buy food, by denying you the right to grow your own? It already did that - Wickard v. Filburn The farmer in that case was prohibited from growing food for himself because it would have "a substantial effect" upon interstate commerce. W v. F also needs to be overturned - and this case may be the mechanism for that. So I pray.

The communist USA government is already forcing us to buy cell phones for people THEY have determined need them. It matters not if these people are in need because of circumstances beyond their control or in most cases due to a life time of dumb, stupid life decisions.
Somehow, the communists gained control and now feel cell phones are a right and we must pay for them.

Thus, the government should be able to have a say in who gives birth, how many times, and which ones. Bingo! This case lays bear the lie that is modern commerce clause jurisprudence and hopefully leads to a retrenchment and resurrection of the rights reserved to the States and the people. Let's insist on it in November. Shall we?

Which is why it’s hard to get that passionate about overturning the individual mandate. I already pay an obscene amount of tax and those taxes have no option attached to be exempt from them if I go out and buy something for myself. How about if I buy my own cell phone, I can get the cut of my taxes back that goes to pay for other people’s cell phones?

They won't want to terminate every pregnancy.
It depends on the parental voting record....

How did we get into the awful position that we have to hope Kennedy wakes up in a good mood to have a just government?

What I dont understand is why anyone, the Justices in particular, accept the premise that buying health insurance is the only way one can pay for their personal health care?Which is why the individual mandate Newt used to talk about had the option to post a bond instead of getting insurance. So if you set your own money aside you wouldn't need to buy insurance.
