TOS did you notice that the headline linked to cnn's live blog? That is where I copied the headline from... their website jumped the gun too.
I watched FOX and they said the mandate was struck down under commerce and that was TRUE. (Kelly) It was upheld under tax law.You must watch FOX NEWS as well.. THEY JUMPED THE GUN with thier embiciles and said the law was struck down, when it fact it was UPHELD.

They had it right and CNN blew it IN PRINT!!
So seniors are going to get reductions on their prscriptions? Is that why they ripped $500 billion from Medicare to pay for that?
So, I'm paying for my own reductions ? That's some benefit!!
3 years of saying ths was not a tax increase. He lied. The Supremes say it is a tax increase!!
Hopeless is all I can say.
First, the solicitor general ARGUED to the court that the 1% tax was BOTH a tax and fine under two segments of the constitution. The court found that the 1% was indeed a tax but not under the commerce clause but within congress right to set taxes.
OBAMA has always said it was a TAX. You just didnt "understand" what he was saying, because you were busy listening to the talking heads who were feeding you the wrong information.
IN keeping with the mis information, you say that OBAMA cut 500 billion from medicare, and that is NOT TRUE. The 500 billion was cut from MEDICARE ADVANTAGE, a completely different program than MEDICARE.
But if you watch FOX SPEWS or listen to RUSH or HANNITY, this is something they dont TELL YOU.
Look it up for yourself.
Nobody lied, you just werent listening.
NANCY PELOSI had it right, "we have to pass it so YOU can see whats in it outside the fog of the controversy" Nows your chance.
Read it.

One interesting aspect of this is that the entire Obamacare bill can be rejected by Congress without having 60 votes in the Senate.
Since this bill has been deemed to be a tax issue, the Senate reconciliation process requires only 51 votes.
If Romney is elected and there are 51 Republicans in the Senate and Republicans keep control of the House, Obamacare is dead.
This is why Obama and Democrats always insisted this was not a tax ... partly anyway.
