Once again you miss the point entirely. It doesn't matter, as far as the constitutionality of the law is concerned, that everyone will use healthcare at some point.

Everyone will die at some point. That doesn't mean the feds can mandate how we handle our funeral arrangements.

Everyone eats food. That doesn't mean the feds can mandate a healthy diet for all of us.

Spence, you need to seperate your love of Obama from the question of constitutionality. Just because this was Obama's idea, doesn't necessarily mean it's constitutional. Obama's agenda is not a litmus test for constitutionality. The number of people impacted by healthcare is absolutely, conmpletely meaningless to the Supreme Court.
