“Ironically, it is this aspect of Obamacare’s individual mandate—the fact that it forces Americans to consume health care above and beyond their actual needs—that may be its undoing at the Supreme Court. “A young, healthy individual targeted by [Obamacare’s] mandate consumes about $854 in health services each year,” said Justice Alito in last month’s oral arguments. “Isn’t it the case that what this mandate is really doing…is requiring them to subsidize services that will be received by somebody else?”

Well Duuuh?
