The Supreme Court declared the individual mandate of Obamacare constitutional, ruling that the consequence of not purchasing health insurance is a tax, not a penalty. By that reasoning, mandates are now taxes. Government can tax you if you don't do what it thinks you should. Don't buy sodas or you pay the soda tax would be an example. Drive a car that is more than 4 years old, pay the old car "green" tax. The mandate "tax" will now be added to the 21 new taxes already set up in the Affordable Health Care Law.
President Obama, who promised time and time again that he would NOT raise taxes on the middle class, has now effectively raised taxes on the middle class because the individual mandate was ruled a tax by the Supreme Court.
So.... this is now a huge tax increase that everyone gets to share. The only way this law can be changed now (don't know if totally stopped is even possible) is to remove President Obama and have a turnover in the Senate. The Republican Governors have stated they aren't doing anything to implement this law until after the elections. Elections have consequences.....it is the people's choice this November that will determine the speed and direction this country will travel.
Here is the Mitt Romney's response to the court's decision to allow the ObamaCare (Affordable Heath Care) Law to stand.
Today, the Supreme Court upheld Obamacare. But regardless of what the Court said about the constitutionality of the law, Obamacare is bad medicine, it is bad policy, and when I'm President, the bad news of Obamacare will be over.
It was always a liberal pipedream that a 2,700 page, multi-trillion-dollar Federal Government takeover of our health care system actually could address the very serious problems we face with health care. With Obamacare fully installed, government will reach fully half of the economy - that is the recipe for a struggling economy and declining prosperity.
On Day One, I will work to repeal Obamacare to stop the government's takeover of our health care and intrusion in our lives. I will push for real reform to our health care system that focuses on helping patients and protecting taxpayers.
We cannot afford Barack Obama's on-the-job learning, Big Government proposals, and irresponsible spending. Our basic liberties are at stake - and I will fight to restore our freedoms, renew the respect for our Constitution, and halt the government takeover of health care.
This November it's all on the line. The stakes couldn't be higher.
