It would be inherently more legal than the health insurance mandate in Obamacare, since, as far as I can tell by reading the SD Constitution, there is nothing that would prohibit the law (specifically in the Legislative powers) Five South Dakota lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require any adult 21 or older to buy […]
