Gee, where does it say in the US Constitution that the Federal government can tell people to buy medical insurance?

Congress will allege that the Interstate Commerce Clause covers this via the Supreme Court's decision in Wickard v. Filburn.

As to whether the current Supreme Court will accept that argument remains to be seen.

The old bugaboo Interstate Clause and along with General Welfare Clause has swallowed the whole Constitution according to the DemoRats.

It maybe time to relocated the Supreme Court to Nebraska or somewhere long away from DC.
