Obamacare will be upheld as a tax that is constitutional under the 16th Amendment.

In the brief, Foley makes the point that forcing an individual or company to sign a contract for the purchase of a product—health insurance included—would violate one of the centuries old underpinnings of contract law which states that to be enforceable, all contracts must be voluntary.

Choosing to buy or not buy Obamacare insurance will be voluntary. Those who do will get a tax credit. Those who don't won't get the tax credit. Choice is to each person and so is voluntary.

Now pay your 16th Amendment taxes and shut up.

"contracts must be voluntary"

Is it "voluntary" if you do it because you believe the government when they say "If you don't volunteer to do it, we'll make you wish you had!"?

I think the GM bondholders believed the government.

200 years of legal precedent regarding bondholder standing in bankruptcy were thrown out the window to make the government takeover of GM possible. At this point relying on the judicial system is pointless.

What happens if I don’t buy an Obamacare policy and I refuse to pay the fine ?

Will Obama”care” be the high water mark of the 80 year flood of Welfare Sewage that has finally mortally drowned America?
