If it is a tax, than the court cannot make a ruling on the Constitutionality of the tax (because of the Anti-Injunction Act) until the tax is actually imposed in 2014.
Since Obamacare is now considered a tax, and if it remains on the books until 2014, I would presume that the issue of a mandated purchase can be re-addressed once someone actually has to pay out any money (as a tax) to forego insurance.
It will be harder to unravel this mess by then, but the court challenges are not over.
I agree. It’s being spun as a win, but in fact most of the main portions of the act were overturned.
About the only thing that survived was Congresses power to tax.
