What happens if the Supreme Court rules aganst the individual mandate? Washington Post (blog)

In the argument regarding the Constitutionality of the PPACA, the legal argument differs from both the moral and logical arguments. For example, in some courts, Obama lawyers are arguing that there is no right to health, rather only a right to pay taxes and to have the health care (and food, etc.) allowed by a central authority: this is counter both to the moral argument for a "right" to health (and a "freedom" to select food) and to the logical role of a federal, rather than national, government.

From my standpoint, bringing back the Buck v. Bell legal logic -- the argument that a central authority has an absolute power over each individual life, able to used or sacrificed any life or limb for the financial good of the majority of the moment -- is a frightening departure from the path of liberty. I can't argue, though, that liberty is efficient; that is, I'm forced to agree that treating fellow humans as tools of a central majoritarian authority is indeed more efficient than permitting individual choice.
