that state laws requiring people to have car insurance be negated?

There is no one claiming that states cannot require the purchase of insurance, but rather if the federal government can. MA residents will still have to buy private insurance even if the ACA is repealed.

Not a "mandate" in the same way.

the states are. Completely different issue.

If you're not carrying a mortgage, I'm not sure.

then it is your property and you can do
what you want with it ....

If you own your structure outright, you do not have to buy flood insurance. That's a fact that many have regretted who lost their home in a flood.

The lenders require you to purchase it, not the government.

you can receive sex change and be female and avoid getting drafted. Sucks for the guys but good for gals

They're allowed to serve in the military, ergo they would be drafted.

and is therefore constitutional. The question with ACA has to do with another enumerated power -- the power to regulate commerce among the several states. Does that power extend to the ability to compel commerce by individuals? We'll find out soon.

NOBODY is forcing anyone to purchase Health Insurance. Under the law you can still choose to purchase Health Insurance or not. Nowhere does it say you are required to Purchase Health Insurance.

If you choose not to purchase Health Insurance you must pay a penalty. That is all that is says. I personally think calling it a penalty is wrong. What it should be called is an Offset Fee. It is paid to help ensure there are enough funds available to reimburse providers through tax programs that are paid to providers.

What should have been added to the law is that if you choose not to purchase Health Insurance and do not wish to pay the penalty then you can choose to fill out and carry at all times documentation and proof that you have the funds to pay for care readily available then you get care. If funds are not available then you receive no care.

The penalty is jail.

which is NOT ENFORCEABLE, with a draft? Seriously?

in the Constitution...

FAIL

"To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years"

Please show me in the constitution where the fed has the authority to force me to buy a private for profit product or be fined.

Show me where it says the government can give money to private religious schools.

Show me where it says that the President can declare a war.

The Congress has the ability to legislate interstate commerce. Health care crosses state boundaries.

Treatment for illness is not a commodity.

The government has the right to tax. The mandate has nothing to do with taxes. If the administration expanded medicare we would not be having this issue right now. That is not what they have done.

In this instance they are not regulating commerce. They are creating commerce in order to regulate it.
