Nope. Otherwise we wouldn’t have Medicaid/Medicare.
Edit: Being forced to have insurance doesn’t mean anything in relationship to privacy to decision making over one’s own body.

Obama is trying to do away with the constitution. It’s wrong, totally wrong but that’s what happens when you have a prez that don’t give 2 sh*ts about America or the people.

I swear, I went to the feminist website yesterday, just out of curiosity. They are a 100% behind this healthcare because of ABORTIONS. Really? Women’s health, ha, forget innocent baby’s health who never did a darn thing wrong. It was horrible seeing pictures from rallies from women who just want the right to kill an unborn child. So yeah, it seems like abortion has a big hand in this healthcare bill for the feminists to be backing it so absolutely. Just wait, we get government run health care, we are going to lose a LOT of choices.

The case law cited at your link has nothing to do with abortion. Moreover, Volokh, the blogger, responds to the argument in this way:
“As much as I oppose the various health care reforms promoted by the Obama Administration and current Congressional leadership (and as much as I would like to see a more restrictive commerce clause jurisprudence), I do not find this argument particularly convincing.”
In other words, the argument is posted on this Constitutional law blog, and then rejected. There is no precedent to suggest that the government cannot constitutionally require people to have insurance. If that were the case, what do you think would have happened to all the state laws requiring people to have auto insurance?

The thing that you’re missing is that Libs are two faced liars. They only uphold that which benefits them and their feelings.
