Maybe you misunderstand the role of the Supreme Court in the United States. The Court says it's constitutional; it's constitutional until the Court or a new amendment says differently.

Boehner is focused on the impact to voters and he should be. It's good politics.

On the radio I'm hearing that the tax is justified as similar to Social Security.

My question: Isn't social security only assessed against workers? If you have a stay-at-home spouse, that person does NOT pay social security, right? But that person will still be mandated to have health care coverage?

If that analogy is correct, then how are they similar? It's more like auto insurance. Only drivers have to pay auto insurance, not everyone. Social security is only paid by workers, not everyone.

But everyone must buy health insurance or the IRS will throw them in prison.

Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?
