Like everything else we've seen from Obama/Pelosi/Reid it's about control and payoffs to special interest groups.

According to the attorney general, a citizen's choice not to buy health insurance cannot rationally be construed as economic activity subject to the Commerce Clause.

"The Commerce Clause gives no authority for Congress to transform a citizen's individual choice to be inactivein the marketplace into a compulsion to purchase apparently unwanted insurance or be penalized," he wrote.

I hope more states decide to do this. It's about time someone decides to stand up to the government. The provision making insurance mandatory does nothing but give the insurance companies millions of more customers.
