Show me in the US Constitution where the state can force people to buy something and we can talk.

So now you've gone from calling it "socialized"....an indefensible position because, by definition, it is not socialized.....to calling it unConstitutional......one I can agreee with ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL, but not at the State level.

At the State level....it's called the 10th Amendment.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

There is nothing in the Constitution that prohibits the States from mandating resident-purchased health care or even a State socializing health care......so it's a State's right issue to do so or not.

Or do States only have the rights you agree they should?
