The gov never had the right to force people to buy anything, and the “justice” roberts violated principles of law in declaring that the mandate was OK.
The media/left will spin this as millions of people being denied healthcare. [health insurance]
This brings to mind the old saw that if the Saudi government were to control sand, they soon would have a deficit. Government control of ANYTHING ultimately results in waste, fraud, abuse, and shortages. Life is a risk, any your health is about the biggest risk in it. Government control of your health is guaranteed to make it even riskier.
We need more of these Civil Rights victories!
His decision....and he was not alone.... made this repeal of the mandate possible.
Obamacare was a scary precedent because it proved to me that if the government could mandate that, they could mandate ANYTHING, mass killings, outlawing the constitution, taking all your property, anything. The Obamacare mandate was so freakin’ unconstitutional it was insane, but they didn’t care did they. All you need is a wacko judge to redefine anything and it’s set in stone. THIS is EXACTLY why the 2nd Amendment is THE most important constitutional right we have because all it takes is the wrong people in office and it can all go to hell overnight where your life is in danger.
Obamacare Individual Mandate.
Give us, us free.
Give us, us free.
Give us, us free.
GIVE US, US FREE!
... say the people.
Exposing Zero’s dirt would be an added bonus.
“...it was obvious Obamacare would end up looking like a Rube Goldberg machine powered by totalitarianism”
This is a bad analogy. Why? Because Rube Goldberg machines (No matter how convoluted) always worked.
Hasn't happened yet.
I read on another site that it was a Rand Paul amendment that got the individual mandate monkey off our backs. I wonder why he’s not getting more credit?
ACA should have got past the SCOTUS . Today I believe it would not have a shot ,, with 80 some hidden embedded taxes .
Anyone know if retroactive to 1/1/2017?
