Does the Constitution or any amendment require the purchase of goods or services to legally reside in the USA?

Question by Handymam: Does the Constitution or any amendment require the purchase of goods or services to legally reside in the USA?
Does anyone know where, if at all, it says in our Constitution or any Ammendment that a citizen can be required to purchase a good or service in order to legally reside in the United States of America?

For instance, if the government decided that apples were good for a person’s health, can you be legally complelled to buy them? What about shoe leather, blueberries, toilet paper, or Health Insurance?
