Auto Insurance is a state law not a federal law. There is nothing in the constitution that says the federal government can make you buy any good or services. IMHO
Not only is it your humble opinion, it is fact.
Now......
when we're talking about state law mandating car insurance, not everyone pays for it. One can actually choose not to pay for auto insurance (don't own a car).
Does the state make you purchase auto insurance just in case you buy a car?
No.
Likewise, the state can't mandate that you pay for health insurance.
They forget that without auto insurance you can not licence your car or legally drive, meaning we are forced to buy it for the general good, not to mention SS and medicare. It has already been done so the courts have already agreed that it is Constitutional. What some states are doing is just more grandstanding so the politicians of those states can say to their Repub voters that they fought it. More waste of money and time, I keep waiting for the politicians to get to work on issues that are waiting on hold while this silliness runs its course.

Exactly. Well said. The Supreme Court has always ruled the same way in similar cases, so there is no reason to expect them to eact differnetly this time. This is nothing but political pandering.
The GOP criticized Democrats for focusing on health care while the economy was still depressed, yet the GOP's first act is to focus on health care instead of improving the economy. It's a hypocritical move by the GOP.
Axing this horrible ObamaCare IS boosting the economy and stopping the job-killing aspects of it!
Unless your company donated to the Democrats and is one of the 111 entities that were granted an exemption, you aren't hiring people with this albatross around your neck.

The Supreme Court never heard cases about mandatory auto insurance.
Those are STATE laws and there's nothing that says you have to own a car or even have a license.

We are gaining jobs each month and the economy is expanding. The law also helps small businesses provide health insurance if they choose to. GDP and jobs have been gaining since the law was passed.
Ironically, the only sector that is still losing jobs is the public sector.

On CNN this morning it heard the term "Jobless Recovery" mentioned.
