for someone to actually and intellectually honestly believe that congress has the constitutional authority to mandate a private citizen buy health insurance would also have to believe that the commerce clause of the US constitution also gives congress the constitutional power to mandate you buy roses or petunias to plant in your front yard and if they can realistically square that up with the limited power that the founders wanted in a federal government, well then they just either do not understand founding history or they don't care. I'd rather prefer they just admit that they don't care.
