Sore loser much?
I think it means they can opt out of the healthcare exchange part without losing existing Medicare funding. I don't think it means that anyone can avoid the mandate.

This is a major victory for African America because the Black Underclass will now be the major beneficiary of the transfer of wealth from the White Middle Class. This helps Black people at the expense of White people.

more fatalist/pessimist. conservatives tend not to share liberals fond belief that Washington has a Magic Money Tree that will always provide enough revenue.
They're gonna need it, because trust me some of us are not going to take this crap lying down.
There are parts of the bill that are pretty popular with the public. The mandate isn't one of them and that's what everyone thinks when they hear "Obamacare." So Romney's problem would be repealing the unpopular parts, and keeping the popular parts in place, or he's gonna get hammered in 2016 for taking away the popular parts.
nah. the thing that is impossible about Obamacare is fully implementing it - 2700 pages, all the regulations still haven't been written, more than half the states havent' even started getting ready to set up exchanges, and the cost will collapse the federal fisc. A simple "repeal" bill with a presidential signature is pretty simple, as would be giving out a waiver to all 50 states. Hell, Obama has set a precedent with Amnesty, Romney could just declare that he has ordered the IRS and HHS not to enforce the ACA.
And on the upside, this decision will bring us toward insolvency at an accelerated rate, at which point the reset button will be engaged.
In Plain English: The Affordable Care Act, including its individual mandate that virtually all Americans buy health insurance, is constitutional. There were not five votes to uphold it on the ground that Congress could use its power to regulate commerce between the states to require everyone to buy health insurance. However, five Justices agreed that the penalty that someone must pay if he refuses to buy insurance is a kind of tax that Congress can impose using its taxing power. That is all that matters. Because the mandate survives, the Court did not need to decide what other parts of the statute were constitutional, except for a provision that required states to comply with new eligibility requirements for Medicaid or risk losing their funding. On that question, the Court held that the provision is constitutional as long as states would only lose new funds if they didn't comply with the new requirements, rather than all of their funding.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form.
The mission statement of the United States is such that this federal government must be un-made if we are to hold to it.
You've just seen the first major step in the 21st Century version of The Intollerable Acts. Here's hoping that this time we get it right after we overthrow the Government and re-write the Constitution the PROPER way so it cannot be misinterpreted.
Conservatives tend to be sore losers who make silly threats of armed revolution whenever they lose an argument.
So much for protecting the Constitution, eh? If it doesn't satisfy your political view, just tear it up and start over. :lol:
I've always thought of the fine as a tax/levy, strange that this was never discussed before this decision.
Nonsense. The Act primarily benefits the working class -- more white people than black people.

Neither secession nor revolution necessitates warfare.
I want my state to secede from this nation, as it has completely abandoned the rule of law and its founding principles. The entity tasked with upholding the rule of law has been grossly negligent for nearly a century. The system is completely broken.
Roberts was the one who did. 5-4 decision.
John goddamn Roberts.
