Supreme court is making all the wrong choices lately, and shooting down the good and allowing the bad, GO FIGURE......Constitution?? whats dat,,,,,,HMO's and insurance companies are having field day I bet. I have always thought HAVING to have insurance was a scam..... IMHO as always
The huge money grab goes forward............
The Declaration of Independence 1776: All men are created equal and there are certain unalienable rights that governments should never violate. These rights include the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When a government fails to protect those rights, it is not only the right, but also the duty of the people to overthrow that government. In its place, the people should establish a government that is designed to protect those rights

Insurance companies bought the court! Also in the Obamacare everyone has to be Chipped by March 30th 2013!
Here we go:
OBAMA'S HEALTH-CARE OVERHAUL UPHELD BY U.S. SUPREME COURT
5-4 decisions, with Roberts joining the court's liberals.
Court says federal government can’t threaten to withhold money from states that don’t fully comply on Medicaid extension
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS SAYS MANDATE IS NOT A VALID EXERCISE OF CONGRESS' POWER UNDER COMMERCE CLAUSE AND NECESSARY AND PROPER CLAUSE
HEALTH LAW'S MEDICAID EXPANSION LIMITED BY U.S. SUPREME COURT -RTRS
ROBERTS, JOINED BY TWO JUSTICES, SAYS MEDICAID EXPANSION VIOLATES CONSTITUTION -RTRS
FOUR JUSTICES DISSENT, SAYING THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT GOES BEYOND -RTRSCONGRESSIONAL POWERS UNDER CONSTITUTION -RTRS
ScotusBlog conclusion: So the mandate is constitutional
The bottom line: the entire ACA is upheld, with the exception that the federal government's power to terminate states' Medicaid funds is narrowly read
The ACA is upheld as a tax, not a penalty
The bottom line from the WSJ:
A quick overview of the ruling: A divided Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Obama administration’s health-care law, in one of the most anticipated high-court rulings in a generation. The court said Congress was acting within its powers under the Constitution when it required most Americans to carry health insurance or pay a penalty—the provision at the center of the two-year legal battle. It upheld the mandate as a tax, in an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts.

This was the right decision. Much to the dismay of masochistic doomer libertarians, Americans can now look forward to free medical care, and increased quality of life. This is a historic achievement. Universal healthcare has been the dream of progressives and intellectuals in America for decades, and now it is finally a reality.

Yep, the Greeks are loving their access to "free" health care these days. Cant wait till they raise gasoline tax to 150+% to pay for this "free" health care.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
