I understand WHY the government wants to require everyone to buy insurance--the illustration above with the diabetic and triathlete is very much to the point.

The question then becomes, CAN government require all citizens to buy a product simply because they are citizens? It is not at all like auti insurance--you do not have to drive, or own a car. To require purchase of health insurance just because one is born in, or emmigrates to, the USA will be a hard sell--and probably will result in a protracted Court battle.

Maybe government is not the solution. After all, we are not France, or Canada, or England. We have a Constitution that (supposedly) limits the reach, jurisdiction, and power of the federal government.
