From the Economists' Florida Health Care Amicus Brief
Friends really don't let friends vote Republican:
As Massachusetts Governor Romney noted when signing the Massachusetts equivalent of Section 1501:
Some of my libertarian friends balk at what looks like an individual mandate. But remember, someone has to pay for the health care that must, by law, be provided: Either the individual pays or the taxpayers pay. A free ride on the taxpayers is not libertarian.
