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]
“...roberts(sic) violated principles of law in declaring that the mandate was OK”
If memory serves Justice Roberts approved Obamacare because he successfully identified it as a tax. The administration (at the time) did not want it to be identified as a tax because it really was a tax and not a Health Care system - and that was the reason, the root cause of why it was even instituted was for addition tax revenue.
I have always maintained that government Healthcare is nothing more than another pot of money for use in the Never Ending practice of fiscal shenanigans.
It is a pot of money and the government gets similar pots of money through programs that they legislate.
It is a sham, it always has been, and it always will be. Not unlike Social Security and not unlike welfare dollars excetera... there is always going to be skimming off the top or blatant raiding of these accounts for quick cash.
Make no mistake about that.
You are exactly correct! What would be next? The government could force me to buy a car? Government already forces us to buy phones for non-workers, while workers have to buy our own phones.
