Land of the free no more.

Your over reacting... Your state more then likely requires auto insurance and your home financer requires you to have home owners insurance... Health insurance will be the same...

I agree with the others, upholding the mandate as a tax opens the way to single payer which is what this SHOULD have been from the start and what every single other 1st world nation has.

Thats what we wanted from the beginning.

guess we just wait for romney to get into office and repeal obamacare with an executive order.

My guess is that many on the right are livid. Being sold out by Roberts has to sting.

I think this could work to Romneys benefit though he has a campaign issue to repeal an unpopular aspect of the law.

So, when Obama says he hasn't raised taxes on those making less than $250K, he's LYING. Got it.

Surprising move by Roberts. [MOD CUT/flaming]

Big win for President Obama.

[southbel]

Wow - so upheld as a 'tax'. This is going to kill Obama in the election.

Our country is pathetic, and since when are children "26 years old"...you become an adult at 18! I hate that madate, as well as the madate that people "have" to buy insurance...there is so many loopholes for paying, that you not only have to pay your insurance, but also have to pay for whatever procedure you are having done!

Correction: legal residents. Because illegal aliens will be all set. Get to live here illegally and still won't pay a damn fine.

Land of the free no more.

We already have to buy auto insurance. No we don't have to drive or own a car but if we do, we are "mandated" "required" to purchase auto insurance.
