I just can't for the life of me see how forcing people to buy health insurance (and jailing those who don't) will ever get past SCOTUS.

Then again, who ever thought Kelo would become the law of the land?

Kelo needs to be rehashed by the SCOTUS. Kelo homeowners lost their homes/lands after the city seized it to help Pfizer to expand their R&D lab. This was supposd to bring in highter tax revenues and higher income residents. Guess what, with the severe recession, Pfizer decided to opt out of the expansion deal. On top of that Pfizer plans to close their existing R&D Lab and move the personnel to another facility. Now Kelo is left holding empty lots.

Right! And sending people to jail for not buying insurance is also really a stupid lie—it costs MORE to maintain someone in jail than to give care in an emergency room and while they are in jail, the government has to give the free medical care. What Pelosi is really describing is a concentration camp. !!!
