Unless I missed some news the “penalty” is still $0 from the Trump administration.
It is. But the law - including the individual mandate - is here to stay. And in the current political climate - as well as the very real threat of a globalist takeover of healthcare, who can say what will happen in the future.
The ACA is a putrid stinking mess of a law and SCOTUS had to bend itself sideways and backwards to keep it intact. It was a blatant federal takeover of healthcare.
I respect the justices as individuals, but Dobbs doesn’t wave a magic wand over anything. And those stating that with Dobbs SCOTUS “is returning power to the states,” doesn’t sell. The states lost most of their power a long time ago.
