Only a couple of ALSB members have weighed in on the progress the 
Affordable Health Care Act is making through the courts.  In the 
State of Florida v. HHS, the 11th Circuit found the individual 
mandate unconstitutional under the Commerce and Taxing authority of 
Congress, but severable from other provisions of the act.  The 
government argues that the act is supportable under the commerce 
clause (and alternatively, tax), and that the Anti-Injunction Act 
foecloses the plaintiffs' suit.  The 6th Circuit, recall, upheld the 
individual mandate.

One person referred me to Paul Ryan's health care proposal, but I've 
yet to find it in the detail needed to compare to ObamaCare.  It may 
be there, but I just haven't spent enough time looking.  How would 
the Ryan proposal be financed, and how many of the 50 million 
uninsured and 40 million inadequately insured be covered by Ryan?

I'm going out on a limb and counting two votes against the individual 
mandate already:  Clarence and Virginia Thomas.
