Is this accurate?

It's a sloppy way of saying that the 10th Amendment allows states to do things the feds can't. The feds can (according to SCOTUS) do the mandate only through its taxing authority. Depending on the state constitutions, the states may not be limited to doing this under their taxing power.

So, the 10th Amendment allows RomneyCare and it’s “fees”, which are paid to the MA DOR (and yes, I have been fined/taxed/whatever one wants to call it).

So basically, Gloves argument is: Rom-bamaCare on a national level is bad; on a state level is good.

I can tell you all, on a state level it SUCKS!
