If the conservative dissent had agreed it was a tax, then I think even they would have upheld it.

The idea that the government can use the taxing power to affect people’s decision to purchase something - that bridge was crossed long ago.

It’s why people who buy a government motors battery-powered car pay less taxes than people who don’t.

If I was Ford Motor Company I would be concerned with the Congress taxing every non-GMC vehicle owner since the gubmint owns GM.

What is the difference between that and Obamacare where now a person can be taxed until they submit to buy gubmint health insurance...
