Over the past months some members of Congress have released a bewildering array of proposals for national health care reform, one of which, HB 3962, recently passed the House of Representatives. Those proposals have run the gamut of “public options,” state and/or private health insurance purchasing “exchanges,” new bureaucracies to oversee health care delivery, and mandates that individuals purchase health insurance or be subject to fines or even imprisonment. Such proposals, if enacted, will spawn an equally vast number of constitutional challenges—and by all means they should.
