Federal law required all citizen to have health insurance?
Is that legal? Doesn't it conflict with the Constitution.. What if I were so poor that I barely survive just buying food or better yet if I were homeless. What are they going to do take me to jail if I can't pay for the health insurance and/or fine?

Yes, if you can't pay for the health insurance/fine you will go to jail. It's being monitored by the IRS.
If you are so poor you can barely survive or your are homeless, you will be covered by Medicaid. Its us middle class folks that are getting screwed.
Is it constitutional? That question will be answered by the courts within the next 18 months or so, several states have filed lawsuits asking exactly that question.

If you was that poor chances are you would be placed on medicaid. Even if you didn't qualify, you would get subsudies to assist you in getting health care.
I truly dont see a conflict with the constitution except where it states that whatever is not written in the constitution is the states rights. However, we have programs that regulate state rights, so I'm not sure.
I await more responses.

This bill violates the form in assorted methods, however the main glaring is the fact that no longer each and every state has to pay the taxes. The Dems have exempted many of their states from paying the taxes and taking the medicare cuts. this is particularly outlawed via the form. additionally anybody who makes use of the argument it somewhat is advisable to purchase automobile coverage is a moron in view which you do no longer ought to purchase automobile coverage! I assure you there are probable some million human beings in long island city who don't have automobile coverage and that they isn't fined. no longer all states require automobile coverage topersistent a automobile the two.
