Obamacare mandate and life insurance?

[Bowman78]

Since scotus has deemed the mandate and the tax/penalty constitutional? what's to stop our glorious leaders from deciding we all need to buy life insurance to cover our debt and assets in the case of an untimely death? We all will in fact die and it's true not all of us will be a burden on the healthcare system.. Think of all the lost revenue when someone dies and leaves behind debt that no one else can assume so its written of by financial institutions as a loss??? A tax credit that lowers revenue to the IRS...

I'm guessing they'll require we purchase $10,000,000 of coverage so they can take 50% of it when we die

Only if we had a severely conservative progressive in the White House who had experience creating insurance mandates so he could stop all this (or at least repeal & replace it)...

They probably already have the paperwork drawn up.

???????

It only makes more sense for the sheep to be required to buy life insurance rather than health insurance.. I've had this argument with a few liberal friends of mine and they can't comprehend that when you make an insurance company pay for pre-existing conditions that somebody has to pay for the loss of revenue on the ins company's part... Weird!!! Liberals don't understand economics???!!'

There's nothing to stop them from compelling you to buy about anything any more.
