===Health care=== On August 25, 2010, ReasonTV published a video entitled, "Wheat, Weed and Obamacare: How the [[Commerce Clause]] Made Congress All-Powerful", as part of an effort to question the constitutionality of the [[Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act]] (PPACA), also known as Obamacare.<ref name=broccoli/> The video has been credited with popularizing the argument in conservative circles that PPACA's individual mandate to buy health insurance is constitutionally equivalent to requiring consumers to buy particular types of fruits or vegetables.<ref name=broccoli/> This argument was ultimately articulated by [[Justice Antonin Scalia]], who suggested during oral argument of the [[Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Cases|PPACA cases]] that if Congress has the power to require Americans to buy health insurance, then "Therefore, you can make people buy broccoli."<ref name=broccoli/>
