People who have chosen not to buy health insurance would not seem to be engaged in commerce, and thus would seem to be beyond the reach of Congress’s power to regulate commerce. Emphasis added.

ObamaCare's Incentive to Drop Insurance   The Democrats are getting just what they wanted with Obamacare. It's happening as we speak.

It’s the Mandates, Stupid  "Hewitt Associates recently projected that health insurance premiums will rise 8.8 percent in 2011. That follows a 6.9 percent in increase in 2010. One reason Obamacare may be failing to make health insurance more affordable is that the law does nothing to address one of the major drivers of rising health care costs: government itself."

Will America Accept Bureaucratic Rationing of Healthcare? "The numbers are as startling as tragic. According to the Daily Mail, “Up to 20,000 people have died needlessly early after being denied cancer drugs on the NHS, it was revealed yesterday. The rationing body NICE has failed to keep a promise to make more life-extending drugs available.”
"British cancer patients are routinely denied access to critical life-extending drugs because of their costs. "
