Obama voted against the confirmation of John Roberts, and now John Roberts has saved Obamacare. It's ironic isn't it?
You are forgetting.....the amount they pay in addition for medical care they use.Yep. They're paying roughly $2000 and getting less coverage than they would be required to get if they were paying the $900 fine. That's pretty damn stupid if you ask me. I know more than a few people who are on MassHealth and a couple of these other plans. The ones that are anywhere close to the $900 fine level cover almost NOTHING. To get any amount of insurance these people are paying several times that, and still getting below average coverage.
I heard the GOP heads exploding all the way over here in Europe... must be a mess ...
What is to stop congress from saying, unless you buy a little electric cart and a solar/wind battery charger, that you must pay a $1000 tax? What if the current $400 ObamaCare tax is rasied to $4000?

I want to read Scalia's dissent. No wonder he was pissed off earlier.
Does this officially make it a tax or does congress have to vote on it first?
You bring me great enjoyment. I am absolutely loving this.

Well, liberals got their shady wish.
I just hope America remembers how liberals had to bribe Ben Nelson with the Cornhusker Kickback to even get this bill passed in the first place.
And it's amazing to me that people don't consider the impact this has on small businesses that have 50-200 employees. Most of which cannot afford health insurance for their employees. What are they going to do? They can't afford health insurance, but the mandate requires that all businesses with 50 or more employees offer health insurance for their employees. I suppose jobs aren't the number one concern after all....
But at least we finally know one thing: Health insurance isn't a right, but a "tax".
There's no fun in that.
Oh no's...he lost the shut-in/not buying HI vote....!well Obama, good luck running in November on having broken your pledge not to raise taxes on Americans making less than $250K.
LOL...oh no's....he lost the con vote!conservatives gonna be lining up behind Romney now.
Liz Warren....Remember Massachussetts? Scott Brown won in Massachussetts promising to be the vote against Obamacare.
Please copy and paste this message or a similar one to your FEDERAL representatives: Dear --insert representatives name here-- , Now that the Supreme Court has upheld President Obama's unfunded mandate forcing individuals to purchase a product it is time to get rid of those justices as well as to begin impeachment proceedings against Mr. Obama. Nowhere in our Constitution is there authority for the Federal Government to force citizens to purchase a product or service. Our Constitution provides a list of the powers of the Congress in Article One, Section Eight to wit: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States" The "general Welfare" clause was not and does not indicate that individual persons should be a part of a forced purchase of any kind. According to today's news, the mandate has been upheld as a tax and as such that tax does not provide for common defense, pay debts, nor promote the general welfare of the nation. Mr. Obama has overstepped his authority and defied the Congress many times with executive orders and has, through possibly unethical contacts and back-room deals, forced this unwarranted and intrusive "affordable" health care law against the will of the people. The Congress is supposed to be representative of its constituents, NOT of the insurance companies or other corporations. I urge you to create legislation to repeal this unfunded mandate and to prevent any such law from ever being introduced in the future. Thank you,
No, it's the same thing. If you don't own a home, for example, then you are paying for the mortgage interest deduction that homeowners get, because if they weren't getting that deduction your taxes would be lower (or you would get more services). So the mortgage interest deduction is a MANDATE to buy a house in exactly the same way that this is a mandate to buy insurance.
and that's not judicial activism?
I know it's a dissenting opinion but are they normally that scathing?
*LOL* I think it’s just great .. . Now it’s a tax … and a tax on who?? Certainly not the rich … they can afford any policy they want. Who it’s going to effect most are the poor that can’t afford insurance to begin with . So it’s a new tax on the very people that can least afford it … So now liberals can be rightfully accused of raising the taxes on the poor .
