Obama and the individual mandate
By Michael J.W. Stickings
On the policy front, President Obama tonight endorses, clearly and unambiguously, a requirement that everybody obtain insurance -- that is, an individual mandate. He has not done that before, not this explicitly.
As Jon Stewart put it a while ago, if you're required to have insurance for your car, why not for yourself? (Right, because, in America, cars are important.)
Check out Cohn's full post for more "news in the speech." (Yes, Obama did make some.)

You can choose not to buy auto insurance by choosing not to drive. Do we really want to live in a society where the only option you have for exercising your liberty is to choose not to LIVE?
