It’s not the mandate that you buy insurance or get fined. Not the same.

Then what mandate is it? Because the only things that ever have been called "the mandate" with respect to Obamacare are the individual mandate (buy insurance for yourself or get fined) and the employer mandate (buy insurance for your employees or get fined).

See post 5 and look at the words in context.
