McCain Says Health Care Bill Would Face Constitutional Challenge
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) predicted on Thursday that there will be a constitutional challenge to the provision in the health care bill under consideration in Congress that would require all Americans to buy health insurance. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the federal government has never before mandated that Americans purchase any good or service.
I wouldn't place a lot of reliance on a Supreme Court that's round and firm and fully packed with B.O. appointees. Johnny Mac's campaign finance restriction on freedom of speech survived review by a much more conservative court.
When asked by CNSNews.com on Thursday where in the Constitution is Congress given the authority to mandate that people buy health insurance, McCain said, "That is an excellent question and I'm sure that if they pass health care legislation, I think there would be a challenge."

#3 According to the Congressional Budget Office, the federal government has never before mandated that Americans purchase any good or service. If mandatory payroll deductions for Social Security and Medicare are not the functional equivalent of a 'mandate that Americans purchase certain goods or services,' I don't know what is.
