and btw.. if Wyden Bennet didn't have a mandate then what is this?
requires one to buy insurance, if you don't.. you get a penalty..
and if that's not a 'mandate, it's a tax' then so is this..
requires one to buy insurance, if you don't.. you get a penalty..
if one is not a mandate, neither is the other.. if one is a tax, then so is the other... sorry, you can't have it both ways..
and really, I believe pro-con over you on this issue.. and they say both are mandates.. so I'm not too worried about you answering this.. you don't admit mistakes easily so I know you'll never admit this one..
I already showed you were the CBO said it was a tax. The premium comes out of taxes, just like FICA.
Interestingly, you've argued both ways on the Obamacare mandate. That it was a mandate covered by commerce clause and it was a tax.
