Debating the Individual Mandate

(Jonathan H. Adler)

Last week, I was a participant in the 2012 Fordham Debate at the University of Utah's S.J. Quinney College of Law.  The topic was the constitutionality of the minimum coverage requirement (aka the individual mandate) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and my interlocutor was David Orentlicher of Indiana University.  For those interested, here is the video of the debate.    Time permitting, I'll write up a synopsis of my remarks as well.
