What will the Feds require citizens to buy next?
A solar panel
A Chevy Volt
General electric stock
Or if conservatives win the next election
A gun
Government bonds
Wall Street Bank stock
Now that the commerce clause applies to your wallet, the sky is the limit. This new found Federal pocketbook power is not going to help you or me but will make certain select companies richer for sure.
You guys are on a roll.
I've never seen so many winning answers.

It was ruled unconstitutional to use the Commerce Clause. The only reason Roberts allowed it was if they called it a tax.
And conservatives would never mandate owning guns, they just support the right to own one. Big difference.
The only one that I see probable out of the 6 is solar panel.

If you actually researched obamacare you would know that everyone long term will be saving money because insurance companies won't have as much power to raise rates over the conman man. Maybe you should spend your time researching before you start b*tching on answers.

You cannot refuse health care in our society - particularly in the event of a catastrophic accidental injury, but also including infectious disease.
The Health Care bill just requires that this availability be paid through health insurance. It would have been smarter to just make it Universal Coverage - but Business was selected as superior to Government as a provider. This was a compromise that was taken from previous Republican-written plans.

You missed something. They already banned analog TV. Which could have been kept as a cheap alternative for the poor. Also, keeping some businesses going. Until the poor economically caught up.
Get ready to have to buy both of Obama's books Plus a suitable worship altar in you home.

The Repubs didn't want a public option so you have to buy from insurance companies.

Pretty nasty business - At the end of the day, if this law is allowed to stand without repeal, Americans will next be forced to fund the collapse of our economy

You are not REQUIRED to buy anything. You have a choice not to buy insurance and pay a penalty if you choose.
"What kills me is Obama makes it a law that citizens have to purchase a private sector product insurance ..."
You know what kills me?? Idiots that don't know only CONGRESS can pass a law.
