Neal Kumar Katyal, the acting solicitor general for President Obama, under questioning by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, revealed how individuals can escape mandates (or being forced to buy health insurance).
Just make less money.
Of course, the real question is whether Congress has the power to make you purchase something. The SG's argument is that everyone will eventually use health care; thus, Congress has the right to force you (mandate) to buy health insurance. THEIR health insurance.
The judges kept asking the Solicitor General Natyal where is the line or boundary that separates congressional mandate from willy-nilly interference in every aspect of your life.
The answer, of course, is that with Obama's idea of governmental powers, there are no boundaries to keep the federal government out of your private life.
