In my American Thinker piece (below), I asked the question: If Obamacare is upheld, what next?
In this piece, Cato’s Gene Healy offers a highly plausible answer — the health busybodies will use the power to mandate health insurance to dictate whatever rules they would like to impose regarding “healthy lifestyles.” If we must purchase federally-approved health insurance so that the Obamacare system will “work” then why shouldn’t federal (and state, and local) officials be able to tell us what we must and must not eat and do so that the government’s health care system will “work”?
“Progressive” busybodyism has been advancing for many years, aided by court decisions that permit the busybodies to encroach further and further.
