It might not be unconstitutional but in my opinion it is just plain wrong to force people with the threat of prison to purchase products from our polititians' campaign contributors. It looks like the millions the insurance industry used to buy our congress is going to pay off big time when millions of new customers are forced to buy their products. Getting rid of that pesky tiny public option will be icing on the cake.
