The Broccoli Mandate
The Health Care Blog 
[Opinion] Mar. 26, 2012
"The question, if the federal government can make everyone buy health insurance at a particular coverage level and type, can it make everyone buy anything? For example, could the federal government require everyone to buy a certain amount of broccoli every year, and assess penalties for a failure to do so? After all, like health insurance, broccoli has the potential to improve health, thereby reducing health care spending and perhaps enhancing economic productivity of the workforce. If the argument works for health care, why not for broccoli?"
