"If an individual does not maintain health insurance, the only consequence is that he must make an additional payment to the IRS when he pays his taxes," Roberts writes. He adds that this means "the mandate is not a legal command to buy insurance. Rather, it makes going without insurance just another thing the government taxes, like buying gasoline or earning an income."
So let me get this right....if you DON'T have something, now the .gov can tax you on it. This is equivalent to saying that if you don't have a hybrid, you are going to get taxed 1%.

I understand that those without insurance cost the country as a whole a lot of money...but THAT is what needs to get changed. no insurance...good luck!



well, I'm going to get on my political soap box now and tell every single one of you that want to vote third party that this decision is the one and only thing that you need to consider when you cast your vote in november. If obama gets 4 more years...you ARE going to look at 20+ years of these kind of rulings. I read through the comments on here and see how pissed people are, some saying the constitution is gone, America is dead, welcome to Canada etc. etc. If you feel that way, November need to be the starting point.
