March 26: "Supporters of the provision claim that Congress has the authority to mandate insurance because of the Commerce Clause in the Constitution. This is a very interesting argument due to the nature of the people who are being regulated. People who do not purchase health insurance are by definition not engaging in commerce. If someone is not engaging in commerce, the question becomes 'how can the federal government regulate it as commerce?'"

"if an adult child is added to a parents health insurance policy and is not a dependent, the health care benefits that child receives are considered taxable at the fair market value."
