Justice Roberts ruled that the penalty had to be low enough to qualify as a reasonable tax.

“Obamacare’s future depends on who wins the WH.”
It is not just about “Obamacare”, but socialized healthcare. You can get rid of Obamacare and “replace” with equally socialist program. There should be NO “replace”.
