It seems that our friends on the right have ramped up efforts to excite citizens into thinking the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional.  The achingly resounding argument is that forcing people to buy insurance they don’t want is somehow illegal.

I have two responses:

  1. Whoever doesn’t want health insurance is out of their mind.
  2. The Congress shall have Power to regulate Commerce among the several States.  (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8)

Is jumping up and down outside of the Capitol going to change that?  No.
