In case you missed it, Robert Samuelson had an excellent column in today's Albuquerque Journal but the same column is also available in the Washington Post (see link).
Besides the difficulties justifying the individual mandate to buy health insurance, there is the issue of whether the entire ACA (Affordable Care Act) actually results in something truly affordable. Rather that develop a catastrophic safety net, congress fashioned a bloated, comprehensive health plan. While the idea of covering every citizen with comprehensive care seems noble, the truth is that many cannot afford such care and the left's plan is that the government will subsidize this.
If the mandate is not struck down, all of the rest of us will be saddled with paying for this for years to come.
