The state can’t make me buy auto insurance?

Who knew?

You only need auto insurance if you are going to drive. You can choose not to drive.

Will you choose to stop breathing before this law would take effect?

Doubly, while an individual STATE potentially COULD require you to buy health insurance because of the 10th amendment, the Federal Government is explicitly prevented the power to do so, by…the 10th amendment and lack of an enumerated power.

It’s so clear in the Consitution and the writings of the founders. They laid it out pretty much in black-and-white.

The state can require you to buy auto insurance as a condition for using the roads that it builds, maintains, and monitors for accidents–in order to ensure that if you injure someone else while doing so, you will cover the costs of their treatments.

If you don’t like it, you needn’t travel on roads or highways created by the state in which you live.

If, however, you don’t like operating a human body . . . your options are more limited.

I don’t know.

Sound more like rationalizations that reasons.

Let’s hope the Republicans get some real leadership soon.
