George F. Will: Health care, afoul of the Constitution | StarTribune.com
This argument against making insurance mandatory is interesting. A State can make car insurance mandatory but then we can choose to not drive. Is getting health care like buying a car or like buying car insurance? Actually I think it is not like either and I sure hope the Judges see it that way. It is in the public's best interest for sick and injured to get care. It is not a public issue whether or not I buy a car or get a driver's license. If you determine that in this great Country health care is a right and not some privegige for those with money, then don't you have to open up access to all? If you remove the whole concept of insurance from the mix, isn't a single payer system the best way to provide universal access?
