Where Justice Roberts Roberts changed the individual mandate penalty to a tax.
The “individual mandate” was not the only ‘tax’ in the Obamacare bill ... there were at least a dozen new taxes identified in the bill. For example: the medical device tax, the captial gains surcharge ... these are real taxes that were designed to raise revenue to offset the costs of the subsidies, and were also not legally imposed.
I was surprised that the judge didn’t throw the case out for “lack of standing”.
