That is a stretch, but it certainly should raise the question, if you can't be required to have insurance, then shouldn't a hospital be able to reject the uninsured? Actually, I am not sure if the quote above is an either/or...
If it isn't unconstitutional to make taxpayers and insurance holders pay for others health care, how can it be unconstitutional to require people to be insured?
I bet most who are opposed to this already have health care. They may say they are opposed because of the government mandate for a person to have insurance is a government invasion. I don't believe that is why they oppose it. My gut feeling is the real issue for most them is they don't want to have to pay for the insurance of all the people who will be required to get insurance. Irony is, they already do pay for it. Beech is complicated.
