Obama Admin gives new argument to warrant - individual health insurance

Last week, another federal appeals court has heard evidence on the reform of health care - marking one of many court appearances to occur before the Supreme Court rules on the question. Federal judges in Ohio interviewed complainants fairly well but the answers that have been provided by the General Counsel of President Barack Obama is making headlines.

Neal Kumar Katyal, the Solicitor General, defended the reform of health care to a call where he created a new argument for the individual mandate for health insurance. He said that if someone wants to withdraw from the individual mandate a person would just make less money relation Fox News .

There have been many arguments for the individual mandate but it certainly raises many new questions.

Katyal argued for the mandate in the context that when companies were prevented from discrimination in the health of Atlanta Motel cases, they were forced to take action. In response, the judges highlighted the difference between the companies and individuals; companies have the opportunity to leave and individuals do not.

Katyal then went on to say that individuals have the opportunity to leave the market by less than a certain amount. And he suggested that the individual mandate is "a penalty to obtaining a certain amount of income and self affiliation."

Although the decision of the judges will not make that big of a difference, the arguments presented during the debate raises critical questions about the reform of health care.
