Obamacare….as I see it
Justice Roberts’ decision in this most important case before the Supreme Court was not flawed; it was patently wrong! And the fact that they are now trying to make sure they call it the “Affordable Care Act” should tell you all you need to know!
When a case is presented to any Court there is a “burden of proof” or a “level of credibility” that must be established depending upon the case, the law, and the Court. In this particular case, the reference to the word “tax” was ‘dismissive’ at best and ‘insinuated’ at worst. It should never have even been considered in the deliberations. The Chief Justice of our highest Court in the land also “chose” NOT to have any input or discussion of the issue from any other Justice. That is unacceptable. Every Judge I have the privilege of speaking with, has advised me that only through the exchange of ideas and opinions from one’s peers can a proper decision be made…certainly in a case of this great magnitude that being (so far) 20% of our economy. This was a case of a “Power Grab” for one President and a Chief Justice who wanted “his” court to be remember as the “Court of the Poor.” And what we are left with is a 2,700 page document that no one has read, or understood, 150 new agencies we do not need costing billions, and businesses being killed because they cannot sustain the burden.
This Bill could only (ONLY) be overturned by a R House, R Senate with a 50% or more vote, AND a R President who would not Veto!!!! That is an extremely high bar!
For everyone who thinks this bill was a win…..”be careful what you wished for.” For everyone who does not understand the importance of Supreme Court Appointments….you are making a grave mistake.

As to the case: There were two main parts of this case, the first being the Individual Mandate which they could not sustain under the Commerce clause (no Interstate Commerce) unless they could spin it into a tax question.
The second being the suit of the 26 AGs of 26 States as to their right to not be penalized for invoking their own State’s Insurance laws and still enjoy the Medicaid reimbursements of the Federal Government. That was struck down 7-2 by the Supreme Justices and they won their case. If you live in on of those 26 states you should re-elect your AGs! Your own insurance laws stand. All other states must participate in full compliance and if they do not will not be reimbursed for Medicaid.
Under out system of laws: Congress DOES have the right to implement penalties as well as new taxes. THAT is what this is all about. Either the President “lied” to the world when he repeatedly claimed Obamacare was NOT a tax, “lied” to Congress to get the House and Senate to pass a non-tax Bill, “lied” to the Supreme Court…or “lied” to all three entities. They bought it; he won! This bill is actually now forcing YOU to buy some product from a 3rd party entity. And worse than that…there is a bill that was passed during WWII that does allow Congress to regulate Insurance.
