Don't Buy It

Interesting:

Don't Buy It - Reason Magazine: "A few weeks before Congress passed a law that orders every American to buy health insurance, the Virginia legislature passed a law that says 'no resident of this Commonwealth…shall be required to obtain or maintain a policy of individual insurance coverage.' Two weeks later, Idaho’s governor signed a law that declares 'every person within the state of Idaho is and shall be free to choose or decline to choose any mode of securing health care services without penalty.'

Supporters of ObamaCare say such legislation, which more than 30 other states are considering, has no force, since the Constitution makes congressional enactments 'the supreme law of the land.' But that is true only when federal laws are authorized by the Constitution, and the individual health insurance mandate is not."
