Official 10:00 healthcare ruling decision thread (illegal, election, elect, state)

[Lincolnian]

It appears that the supreme court renamed penalty as a tax. This allows Obama and Democrats to say they didn't raise taxes and republicans to say they caused the tax increase.

Each side gets to keep their campaign points.

Good luck finding a doctor. My wife and whole family are doctors. Anyone using Obama welfare will turn blue waiting to see one of us! Too bad, so sad.

[legalsea]

Wow, just read that it is a 110 page opinion. How many of you have read it?

[summers73]

Will liberals be mad now that they can't get single payer or public option going?

[TrapperJohn]

Guess he raised taxes after all. It was upheld as a "tax". Roberts wrote it that it would be unconstitutional under the Commerce clause.

What ever makes you feel better. It is UPHELD!

Oh, and EVERY rotten stinking Democrat that voted for this garbage bill needs to pay as well. And many of them will.

Glad they upheld the individual mandate. I think it's bogus that one could basically refuse to contribute anything for their own health care.

This whole decision is odd. Getting a lot of conflicting information. But basic thing is this thing just became a tax.
