White House says health care debate is over: Fee for uninsured is a penalty, not a tax

The White House insisted Sunday the consequence for Americans not having health insurance is a penalty fee, despite the Supreme Court ruling that it is a tax, and said the debate on the Affordable Care Act should finally end.
White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew said on “Fox News Sunday” that “when the Supreme Court rules” the country “has a final decision” and that the presidential campaigns should focus on the economy and jobs.
“What we need to do is go forward with the implementation” of the law, Lew said.
The Dems are running scared. They know that if this must be a tax (and all similar coercive efforts), then the second they collect one penny of it it will be subject to being struck down as outside Congress’ taxing authority.
The fight has only just begun.
