Damn right get rid of it!! The federal government has no constitutional authority to meddle in health care or demand that healthcare providers or insurance companies do a thing, mush less demanding that citizens purchase government approved products or anything else!! That would be tyranny!! The founders rebelled over crap like this. The usurping bastards can KMA, every damn one of them!! Ryan is looking up the wrong damned tree again!!
Romney is an idiot, claims that RomneyCare is a “conservative free-market” program. Riiight. And that’s why it takes government force to implement it. DSome free-market. That’s how the leftist progressive statist bastard thinks!!

The plan, HARD FORCED FASCISM.
The Constitution recognizes four types of taxes:
1) “Duties, Imposts and Excises,” generally called indirect taxes, which must be uniform throughout the United States (Art. I, sec. 8, cl. 1).
2) Capitation, or other direct taxes, which may only be imposed “in Proportion to the Census” among the states (Art 1, sec. 2, cl. 3; Art. 1, sec. 9, cl. 4).
3) Export taxes, which are prohibited (Art. 1, sec. 9, cl. 4;).
4) The income tax, permitted by the 16th Amendment, which can be imposed without apportionment among the states.
The Constitution does set limits on what can be taxed. I think the TaxOcare decision failed to consider those limits. Those who are Constitutional scholars should begin attacking the decision on the Constitutions definitions of tax and the idea that Congress cannot invent new taxes outside of the Constitution's definitions.
