"Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli filed the lawsuit challenging the law's requirement that citizens buy health insurance or pay a penalty starting in 2014."
Kinda like, take the pat down or pay a fine.
good one but not really.... the system works for insurance if risk is equal and costs are spread to everyone. otherwise we have a smoker obese and 59 years old ending up costing the system gazillions cuz he did not pay for health care insurance.

What does that have to do with an unconstitutional law that forces free citizens to buy a private product or service?

Shouldn't everyone be forced to buy a terrorist flight insurance policy, or be refused service?
nothing like a little hay seed sprinkled with vodka. wow. try telling that to the millions of children who now have health insurance coverage due to the bill smartee pants.
What? You must have missed the fact that employers are dumping insurance coverage on employees' children because it's too costly.

Because the principle of economic substitution does not apply but it does apply to all other commerce including all products. If you want a burger or a car you have choice zillions of choices but if you have a heart attack you have one choice and that is a hospital. given that one choice the government has a lawful right to impose choice and restrictions as you when you do have a heart attack will use up funds (mucho funds) to pay for your care. their is no substitute and as such the gov't has a lawful and compelling interest.
Why isn't there an outcry about car insurance? Where are the federal prosecutors about this? Should this be the next fight?
