The Health Insurance Company Enrichment Act was a bad idea from the get go, and, as I liberal, I can not and will not defend it--not for the significant, strategic reasons you mention, but because the mandate turns my stomach and is, most likely, unconstitutional.

I hope the Supreme Court does us a favor and strikes it down.
