It's not J. The horrible thing is the principle that the government can make you buy something. You have no choice here. If you don't want to pay car insurance, homeowners, or income tax, you have a choice. Don't own a car, home or work and you have made a choice. There is no choice here, and what will be the next mandate? Forcing the taxpayers to bailout automakers and financial institutions? Oh, they already did that.

Only because of the mandate that care be provided no matter what. No other services fall under that type of mandate. My power bill doesn't cover my neighbor if he chooses not to pay because that would be ludicrous and the power company isn't required to provide him power.

Too bad I couldn't delay my knee replacement until the ACA consumer protections kicked in - my insurance company couldn't have been able to refuse to pay 6 months after they approved me for the operation, and thus cost me thousands and thousands of dollars out of pocket.
But at least now the insurance companies can no longer refuse to cover me for arthritis and asthma for the next 50 years

What a scary decision this really is, there is now really no limit to what the government can do. Wonder how many jobs will be lost over this debacle.
The silver lining for this is that this will be just one more nail in the coffin that is Obama's chances of being re-elected. |

And PS: you can't read. I said, " ... and thus cost me thousands and thousands of dollars out of pocket." I paid for my own medical care. Your statement is absurd.

OK, I'm thinking green would be appropriate.

This is a huge opening for single payer healthcare. Once the exchanges get up and running in 2014 (they should have already been up and running so people don't remain uninsured), if costs are still too high after a year or two it's simple to just put Medicare on the exchanges for all ages.
Doing that would eliminate the private insurance companies - so I predict they will do very well on competitive exchange pricing for us. Capitalism and free market competition - it's a good thing

unreal, but this is what caught my eye:
But in a major victory for the states who challenged the law, the court said that the Obama administration cannot coerce states to go along with the Medicaid insurance program for low-income people. The financial pressure which the federal government puts on the states in the expansion of Medicaid “is a gun to the head,” Roberts wrote. “A State that opts out of the Affordable Care Act’s expansion in health care coverage thus stands to lose not merely ‘a relatively small percentage’ of its existing Medicaid funding, but all of it,” Roberts said. Congress cannot “penalize States that choose not to participate in that new program by taking away their existing Medicaid funding,” Roberts said. The Medicaid provision is projected to add nearly 30 million more people to the insurance program for low-income Americans -- but the court’s decision left states free to opt out of the expansion if they choose. .....i wonder if states will opt out. if so, how many? and what will that mean if too many opt out? what will that do to the ACA (and this part of the ruling gives lie to the title of the thread btw)?
