Good luck finding a doctor who will use your Obama Health Insurance. No doctor worth seeing will give you an appointment because you are nothing more than a welfare leach! See what patients are doing in England and Canada.
Can you say "cash at time of service"? No? Too bad, so sad.

Or the fact that the executive branch can't "repeal" anything enacted by the legislative......the President can veto, and the veto can be overriden.

In any event, there will be no Republican President (aside from the "liberal" Republican we have now ) for at least the next five years.

Obama wanted to use the Commerce clause to FORCE you to buy a product, you can't use taxation to force you to buy something either I would think, because it's the FORCING you to buy something part that was in question, not how you were to get penalized. I must be missing something.

Basically, it's both and neither. Says gov't can have this power as a tax. However, fed gov't cannot force states to comply by taking away Medicare funds. This law relies on states to set up exchanges (e.g. comply with helping people get insurance). If your state does not comply and you cannot get insurance with the exchange (e.g. already have insurance or already have Medicare), you just have to pay the penalty. It's a mess.

Not True

Liberals are reading into what they want. You are still REQUIRED to pay the TAX.

[Yooperkat]

It's going to be repealed.
