Also your statement that 18 year olds will now have to pay for insurance is not true. Under the new system kids are covered under their parent's policy until they are 26.
As far as having to pay for insurance not being constitutional - that's just crap. If you drive you need insurance - is that unconstitutional too?

1. Sending people to the town meetings was classic misdirection. I guess it takes one to see one because I can see it plain as day that they are doing nothing more than a pro wrestling style con.
2. So now parents are FORCED to pay insurance for their ADULT kids? Wow.
3. The insurance to drive is yet another case of the govt. holding hands with insurance companies...but put that aside for a second. You hit the nail on the head: IF you drive you have to buy insurance. And you can CHOOSE how much you want. Got a new car? Full coverage. Got an old clunker? State minimum.
Or maybe you don't have a car? You're one of millions of people who live in NYC and you take the subway. You don't even WANT a car in that city.
You don't have to drive. But this new law requires every breathing human being to BUY insurance.
Dude...trust me...no politicians are on your "side". It's nothing but money and greed.
