the Supreme Court's going to decide whether or not the Constitution of the United States permits the government to order the American people to purchase goods or services, whether they want them or need them or not,"

Here's a news flash for you Mike: There is ONLY one person that decides what goods or services I purchase -- ME!

Not you nor the rest of your cohorts in crime, not the criminals in the SCOTUS, and certainly not that islamo-fascist, foreign-born, communist b-turd currently soiling the People's House. Got it?

I don’t think you know very much about Congressman Pence. I suggest you do some research on how he stands and how he votes.

I think your anger at Pence is misdirected. Pence was stating what is the current situation. I suggest you hold your fire.

Under previous circumstances it would be true that you are the one who decides what you buy. In the specific case of health insurance,that is no longer true.

The health care law requires everyone to purchase insurance. Every citizen is required by law to purchase insurance whether they want it or not. You have no choice in the matter. If you don’t you will be fined. (there might be special situation for medicare eligible)

That new mandatory requirement on citizens raises the question, can a government that forces citizens to purchase insurance force the citizen to purchase other things or services on pain of fine or penalty?

The right you claim has been taken away. You might not want a chrome plated garbage collection container but there will be one in your driveway and the government will come collect the payment and if you don’t pay, they will assess a penalty or a fine.
