¶ … legality of the "individual mandate" to purchase health insurance
There have always been heated debates about the amount of interference government should have in our lives. Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota perhaps summed it up best when she commented that "If the federal government can tell you, when you are not doing anything, that you must do something, then the federal government can tell you anything," (Mears 2012). This sentiment was echoed by many, politicians and just plain citizens alike, as the fiercely debated issue of mandatory health insurance continued to command the spotlight.

This helps to avoid confusion, conflict, and hostility down the line. This is why it is strongly recommended to put everything, even the friendliest and simplest of business agreements, into writing. Having a written record of the terms allows both parties to have documentation of the terms that the agreement was entered into with, and this can be referred to in any conflicts that may arise.

This is as true now as it was in 1677, when the first Statute of Frauds, "An Act for Prevention of Frauds and Perjuries," is said to have been enacted in England (British History Online). Most states have versions of the Statute of Frauds. This serves as a warning to those entering into a contract; it also lets potential defrauders know that they will be held accountable for their wrongdoings.
Question 3: John Lennon's Piano
The piano that belonged to John Lennon would be considered unique, as any Beatles fan would know. If Yoko Ono did not hold up her part of the contract, she would be liable for damages. However, putting a price on a piano with such a unique provenance would be difficult. According to the…

This issue has attracted considerable attention in health reform initiatives because of the relatively high number of uninsured and underinsured people in the country.
