While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” the Federal court for the eastern district of michigan refuses to hear Thomas More Law Center v. Obama: judge George Caram Steeh III declares the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. “Obamacare” (a.k.a. “Romneycare”)) to be lawful.  The personal decision NOT to purchase health insurance has consequences that affect the health insurance industry, and therefore subject to regulation by CONgress; CONgress can indeed require U.S. subject/enemy/citizens to purchase private health insurance.
