Obamacare's individual mandate comes from the Heritage Foundation - that's right, the organization now run by the Tea Party.

It was essentially a bipartisan reform bill. Had Bush proposed the bill, Republicans would likely have voted en masse for it.

As for the Constitutionality of it, the Supreme Court disagrees.

This is the same organization that at the same time supported and prompted G. H. W. Bush's "assault rifle" import ban (which we are still living with, BTW). Whatever they might be today (I stopped paying attention to them back then), that has no bearing on what they were a quarter century ago.
