Food assistance is a measure of poverty, not a measure of wealth, racist.
Poverty is a measure of income and income is one of the factors used in determining whether a person is rich. I understand why you can't grasp that.

So, to a hillbilly like you, not being on food assistance equals "rich"?
Got it!

Fact
One of the goals of the ACA was to stop insurance companies from being able to deny coverage to people who needed it the most, those with preexisting conditions. But to get that into effect means that people would in fact have to buy insurance while they're healthy. And, since people who choose not to get insurance wind up in emergency rooms and with bills that go unpaid, it was "necessary and proper" to enact the mandate.
Finally, I have little need to prove to you that the ACA is Constitutional. As I have previously said, the Supreme Court deemed the ACA Constitutional, and they are the final say.
But it doesn't really matter what anyone you disagree with says. You will not admit that you are wrong, or that you understand the nature of the ACA and its Constitutionality.
Instead, you'll wet your panties and continue screaming until someone gives you another dolly and that Strawberry Shortcake dress you've wanted for years, listening only to your voice in the echo chamber of your tiny mind.
So you insist that such laws were “necessary” to be instituted by the feds even though the States could do it themselves, right? You insist that it was “proper” even though the Constitution mandates that only the ”forgoing” powers of article one section eight and amendments to the Constitution are ”proper” actions to be taken by the Congress, right?
So in other words, you’re insisting that the Congress has the power to do whatever Congress wants as long as they add a tax to the legislation and unattach the Constitution’s perfectly evident instructions as to the meanings of the words “necessary & proper,” right? That makes you a BIG central government authoritarian.
I included no such insistence to anything. I merely stated fact and provided the reasons that the ACA is Constitutional. Now you want to change it.
I also did not say whether or not I agree with it. You seem to have a problem with assuming far too much and not understanding the scope of what someone posts, that's on you.
Not only do I have a need to prove to you the ACA is Constitutional, nobody else does either.
Whether you like it or not, the Supreme Court ruled that it is legal, and the Supreme Court has the final say on such matters. And that means simply: You are wrong.
(Incidentally, I note you mentioned that I quoted Justice Roberts but remained silent on the fact that I also quoted Justice Scalia. Why is that, I wonder?)
“Is constitutional?” Well genius if you’re claiming that the ACA is constitutional, and your provision relative to that pronouncement is the Roberts opinion, then by what excuse do you claim you’re NOT insisting that the Congress can pass any law they want and it will be constitutional as long as it has a tax attached and a power to regulate commerce that’s stretched to include a mandate that an alleged “FREE” people buy whatever product the Congress thinks is necessary and proper? Isn’t that essentially your position?
So you’re making the argument that the ACA is constitutional but you don’t agree that it is?.
No, you are wrong again. I am not basing the statement that the ACA is Constitutional solely on Justice Robert's opinion. Once again, you're ignoring my reference to Justice Scalia's opinion.
What my position is is entirely irrelevant to your original question.
The bottom line is that the Supreme Court, not just one of its Justices, deemed that the ACA is Constitutional.
Have you tried taking your argument up with them?
You just don't get it, do you?
Whether or not I agree with it is entirely irrelevant. The ACA was deemed Constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States of America, which has the final say on the Constitutionality of law in this country.
The court "legalizes" laws by determining their Constitutionality. They say, "Yes, it is Constitutional" or "No, it is not Constitutional."
Again, if you are dissatisfied with that, then take it up with the Court and your legislators.
