Obamacare ruling

[sniper7]

"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.

Not to mention as well that Romney is vowing to repeal Obamacare his first day in office.
Let's give him the chance. If he doesn't then we can make our dissatisfaction known at that time. Cause I'm fucking positive obama isn't going to repeal it.

Repeal of Obamacare will stave off the complete collapse of the economy for a bit, but it doesn't matter as far as liberty is concerned because the SCOTUS just affirmed the right of the Federal Government to impose ANY restriction on your behavior by fiat.

Wickard v. Filburn + Kelo v. City of New London + National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius = Constitution gone (forever ... or at least until the new constitution is ratified in the new republic but that will require a civil war first which will more likely result in the institution of a fascist police state and not a free republic).

People Who Say They're Moving To Canada Because Of ObamaCare
I'm sure they'll like the healthcare just fine there.

*Facepalm*
Seriously folks, America was humanity's last bastion of liberty ... its gone now, there's no place else to go (and frankly things aren't going to get unbearable here for another couple decades and at the same time it'll get worse elsewhere. Thank God the wife and I couldn't have kids).

I don't believe that POTUS has that power.

Well the current POS..err POTUS is raising the bar of what he can and cant do on his own so why not?

I don't believe that POTUS has that power.

I say at least give him the opportunity...because obama is for damn sure not going to do it his first day back if he gets reelected.

I guess I was saying that the repeal will have to go through Congress, not through Executive decision. I agree that Obama will not likely work to repeal something that he considers a major part of his legacy.

The immigration law forever changed the relationship between the states and the feds. This ruling about health insurance was not about health insurance. This forever changes the relationship between citizens and the feds. We are subjects to a dying land. If it was about insurance they could have made another entitlement and provided a tax. No this punishes those who won't comply with this power grab. The republic died a little more today.


I'm disgusted. VOTE ROMNEY! He's a son of a bitch but we have to give him a chance.

Well, with the country in its final years of life as we know it, can we now try and get the word out that if Obama is re-elected we may need to repeat the 1770's? I say that loosely so I don't have the men in suits come to my door, MAY being the key word here... but really our options are running out, especially if Romney doesn't win.
