[ U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson] declared the foundation of President Barack Obama's health care law unconstitutional Monday, ruling that the government cannot require Americans to purchase insurance. The case is expected to end up at the Supreme Court.
My take on this is heretical to other liberals, and we definitely need health care reform in this country, but it's still my contention that forcing people to buy insurance is a racket that Spaulding must be jealous of. I'm not that enamored of forced purchase of auto insurance, but I understand that a person isn't forced to drive, so it's optional. But forced purchase of health insurance? A person's only alternative here is suicide. And that's illegal!
