Kyan · Answer 1

The correct answer is the following: Option D. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that requiring people to buy health insurance is an acceptable use of the power to tax. In June of 2012, the Supreme Court of Justice of the United States upheld President Obama's health care overhaul law, stating that its requirement for people to obtain health insurance coverage, was an acceptable use of the power to tax.

The Article I, section 8 of the Constitution, gives Congress the power to lay and collect taxes in order to pay the debt and provide for the general welfare of the country. Based on this, the Supreme Court, in 2012, voted 5 to 4 to confirm that the Constitution permits such form of a tax, and therefore the Court could not forbid the government to do so.
