Is there not a silver lining in all of this? As Justice Roberts so elloquently stated, “The individual mandate is a tax.” This is something Obama and his legion of lawyers argued against from the very beginning...I suspect for good reason. If the court had ruled that Obamacare was constitutional as something other than a tax...then there would have been no way out of this,except by repeal with a republican president. While I am not a fan of the current condition of the supreme court, I suspect I have no other option than to look on the bright side of things....while I prep for our impending doom. I digress...nevertheless, if the supreme court has ruled that it is a tax, and that Obamacare falls within the governements power to tax, has the supreme court not masterfully left an out for the American people. Are taxes, under the right conditions, repealed and or done away with? I don’t know...someone more educated on the subject than I educate me. Certanily, this is not the same country I fought for.

Taxes can be repealed, yes, but so can penalties. Nothing here is gained.
