I have never heard anything but a pathetically shallow argument drawing a distinction between Romneycare and Obamacare. OK, you have the floor, please explain to all of us the difference and why this is so important. Creating a national healthcare system, across state lines, likely requires a national mandate.
To have the healthcare system work, as well articulated by Roberts, we need to be certain all are covered (despite pre-existing conditions), it is affordable (tax credits) and all participate (mandate). If you want to do this on a national basis, and the appetite of Americans pre-2009, was that was the case, then you need to do these things across state lines...
That all said, most of this is moot, as this is here to stay... if people want to change it, they need to be working WITH the law as working against it is futile.
Working with an unconstitutional law? Sorry. We on the conservative side will fight it for however long it takes to remove it.
