From my own understanding of Constitutional Law (and yes, folks, I am a licensed attorney), I personally believe that any law requiring the purchase of an item by the Federal government is unconstitutional. I know that proponents of Obamacare argue that it's similar to collision coverage on an automobile, but last I checked, there is no requirement to own a car. Therefore, the requirement to have coverage only applies to those who choose to own one and is an entirely different animal.

I think most people who use the car insurance argument are woefully ignorant of the constitution and it's limit on federal power.I laugh at the idiots who try to use that argument.
