What a contorted and BS ruling. So now the gov't can force me to buy goods and services from any private entity and if I refuse the penalty I am assessed is a TAX? What horse****.

I agree, @Fraudster. Makes him look like a winner. Folks vote at presidential level in particular to be on the winning team.

If you're an employer you drop your employee coverage ASAP. The "penalty" or "tax" whatever it's called, makes it more cost effective than paying for the insurance. Corporations have a fiduciary duty to do this now, as it will save them gobs of money.

My company is currently negotiating with a huge labor union. I'm really curious how this will play out now in the negotiations as health insurance is a big item.

I figure my health insurance will be cancelled next year too. It would be stupid of them not to do it.

EDIT: I believe this would start in 2014

There was too much money involved. I am seeing this exactly like the looting/bailout of Greece. Austerity for the people. In their name, pass it close enough to them for them to smell it, then give it to the corporate interests and government.

Only the powerful will benefit from this.

Trillion dollars? I am surprised it was not all 9 justices in support.

Greece, Healthcare, Powerful people; Welcome to the future.

This reminds me of another story...


The King wanted something different, he wanted a change. He called his men in black robes, and they gave him Oobleck. He was sure everyone would be happy with his Oobleck, but it turned out to be a disaster.


OobleckCare is going to be my new name for this.

Why is anyone surprised? The whole system is full of cancer and corrupt to the bone. The crime syndicate runs the country and the people are nothing but dumbed down, reality tv show fools.

I can't wait for the speeches. This is no different then the banksters losing billions and at the same time paying out bonuses and justifying them. We are soooooooooooooo ****ed. Let's see what Mittens has to say about this. I bet he is even celebrating it.

Yep, and MANY people will then be forced to buy the cheapest private alternative or go on the public option plan. That will accelerate health care rationing.

Anyone who didn't see this coming and neglected to get themselves in better physical condition and health will be culled. Sorry. Many will have done it to themselves...

So given this precedent, could a state mandate that anyone legally able to own a firearm must purchase one and a certain amount of ammunition or be forced to pay a non compliance tax? I bet that would really***** some libs off.

Own a gun, you must buy a $10,000 safe or pay a fine. Easy! AND it must be inspected every month.

And have a million dollar bond in case you harm someone of course...if not, pay a "tax".

Another Republican appointee(Roberts) turns tail.

What a disappointment.
