The right to be left alone – WashPost has another review on the health insurance mandate: "Is health reform unconstitutional?"

So far the best legal review I've found is from Jonathan Adler who notes that while the arguments against the mandate are "anything but frivolous" he also believes the mandate will survive judicial review.

My non-legal gut instinct is that the individual mandate just feels wrong. I don't dispute the power of the government to tax and spend and regulate but forcing Americans to purchase something – even something as necessary as health insurance – smacks of coercion. Furthermore, it seems like the start of a slippery slope where the government can justify just about anything under the umbrella of "regulating commerce."
