Randy Barnett on why mandatory insurance is unconsitutional

In December I blogged about law professor Randy Barnett‘s article published by the Heritage Foundation on why mandatory insurance is unconstitutional. Earlier this week The Wall Street Journal published Barnett’s article on how supporters of the new health control legislation are changing tactics:

Read the whole article: The Insurance Mandate in Peril.  Barnett has also been interviewed on the Healthcare Channel, which Barnett posts the videos and summarizes their content in his blog post at the Volokh Conspiracy.
