#1 Congress mandating that people buy health insurance is like Congress mandating that people pay in advance for Medicare.

#2 Excuse me, Senator Brainiac, but you are only required to have a drivers' license if you want to drive. I can't think of a state that mandates drivers' licenses for everyone over a certain age, much less throws you in jail for walking around without one.

Try again, numbnuts.

#3 No, it's like mandating that every citizen have automobile insurance whether he/she needs it or not in order to create a larger pool for those needing insurance. Someone living in a major metro area that uses subways or buses or bikes or just plain walks, doesn't need the insurance. However, you're make sure they pay any way. And those that don't, you'll fine and/or imprison.
