If I understand the debate about whether or not the <em>federal</em> government has the right to mandate that I buy health insurance, it's primarily centered on the 10th Amendment (and its interaction with the insterstate commerce clause), which would not rule out <em>state</em> governments having that right. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, no one has challenged the constitutionality of Massachusetts' law mandating a minimum level of healthcare insurance coverage.</p></div></div></div> Tue, 01 Feb 2011 20:30:37 +0000 Verified Atheist comment 105060 at http://dagblog.com
