I can’t believe they still haven’t started referring to it as a tax deduction/credit for having health insurance.
"Tax" is a dirty word to employ while trolling for votes.

BINGO!
which is exactly what Roberts was basically saying when he called it a tax and upheld it as constitutional.
It’s really no different than the homeowners deduction or the marriage penalty, it’s just about the words.
If you think of the home owners deduction as ... a homeowning mandate, and the marriage penalty as a stay single mandate you will quickly see the logic to Roberts ruling.
