Obamacare was passed constitutionally.

Which does not make it constitutional. It only means they followed the parts about voting.

If they nationalized the auto industry, would it be constitutional? Here they’ve nationalized the medical industry, and I don’t think it’s constitutional.

Nothing gives Congress the right to demand any citizen have health care. Are there good reasons for individuals to have health care? Sure.

But there’s also good reasons for them to have a car.

Actually, it wasn't even that, unless we're willing to accept that the Senate's completely gutting an entirely non-related bill already passed by the House, renaming the bill, adding a completely new set of verbiage that has nothing to do with what the original bill said or was about, turning it into a "revenue" bill as Roberts and the SCOTUS ruled, is somehow constitutional.

Revenue bills are required to originate in the House. This bill "originated" in the House only in the same sense that an anchor baby "originated" in Texas.

But they didn’t. The bill originated in the Senate, and everyone knows it. I will never, ever buy it deeming to have passed the house.

Sadly, your comparison example really holds no water.

They have already instituted “cellphone possession is a basic right”.

Coming in January is “medical care is a basic right”.

How far down the road do you think “vehicle possession is a basic right” is?

Oh, I forgot they HATE the independence that vehicle possession represents, so they’ll classify “mass transit free pass is a basic right” instead, right after they take over the auto industry for good and restrict sales to only those in positions of power.

(eg How many regular people had cars in the old USSR???)
