1. Even if it mean mandatory purchase from a for-profit corporation?

2. Norm explained with the judges narogatory that IF the purchase of

health ins. from private companies was not mandatory, the healthy would not buy it UNTIL they became ill and THEM buy it was they would know it would always be available and that makes it constitutional under the interstate commerce laws.

Norm did say there are outstanding cases in Va. & Fl. on the same issue.

3. Unless...

...there was a public insurance option that people could purchase if they didn't trust any of the insurance companies.

[napi21]

5. Of course that's true, but there isn't one NOW, and the judge must deal

with existing law.

4. Home ownership should also be mandated

Otherwise people would just wait until they're homeless to buy a house

:crazy:

6. +1

7. Mandatory health care sounds nice. That's not what we're forced to have. n/t
