As expected, although I'm surprised Roberts went along for the ride. Good news for Romney, I guess.

Seems like a good compromise to me.   Looks lik Roberts REALLY wanted to pass it, but couldn't find a good legal path to do so.

So they went with it being a tax, which put it in line with legal precedent.

The only issue really being that it was specifically legislated to NOT be a tax, because Obama didn't want to raise taxes before the election seeing it as a negative thing.


Either way, I'm happy that the commerce clause's point was upheld.

Feel bad for a few of my friends who can't afford health insurance though and basically can't afford ANY price per month, but likely won't qualify for subsidies or medicare/caid because of assets.

Wouldn't the exchanges make that possible?
