Individual mandate took a beating today

[MadMan1978]

Now on to Mass where a Healthcare law is in full effect...
How will this effect the law here? The Attorney General of Mass has said it should not have any bearing on this state law....

Because pretty much all you say is something spit out by someone in the GOP. Trolling ? I think not

Has the possibility ever occurred to you that simply because it has become a GOP talking point does not necessarily mean that it is factually inaccurate? What I said is not opinion. It is a factual statement.

For over 40 years people in the country have spoke of some form of universal health care and you call it more welfare...

I did not say that universal health care is welfare. I said that mandating coverage of pre-existing conditions is not insurance. It is welfare.

I am sure you don't mind if we have decent health care in this country...you just don't want to pay for ANYTHING for the greater good of society! AND YES this would be in the interest of Society and everyone in this country! Although I will agree that the cost in Dollars is something more then anyone, even myself, expect, we need to have this in this great country. Call me a liberal I could care less if your opinion....I know this has been needed for MANY years and will be need for years to come. I beleive finding the middle on all this is what we need to seek. NOT what the those good Christians call welfare...

I think we do have decent health care in this country. In fact, I think it is among the best, if not THE best health care systems in the world, even taking into consideration all of its faults. It isn't that I don't want to pay for anything for the greater good of society. I merely want the freedom to purchase the healthcare I want, and I want others to have that freedom as well. I also want the government to stay out of private industry and not force the insurance companies out of business (the pre-existing condition mandate will do exactly that).

Also, we cannot as a nation afford the ObamaCare program. That point is not about whether or not it is a good idea. It is merely a matter of fact. The cost of the program is too much for our country to afford.

Now to the what the court asked and such...
The states in this case MOST likely will win. This is far reaching and should not be a law forcing the citizens to hold some form of heath insurance.

The program will not work without the individual mandate, because it cannot generate enough revenue to cover the expenses that it will incur.
