So, social security is legal because 1) you chose to work rather than live off your inheritance, or 2) it's been defined in court as a tax rather than as insurance bought and paid for.

Now, can we get rid of medicare? Or is there something in the legal files about medicare that makes it different from ObamanationCare? Is this also defined as tax?

Can they define your insurance premiums as a 'tax' and then force government supplied medical care on us?

There are still battles to be won here. My guess is that this judge thought of at least one work-around and that's why he didn't stay anything. If there's an easy fix, then there's no reason to stop it now.

“Can they define your insurance premiums as a ‘tax’ and then force government supplied medical care on us? “

According to the Judge. No.

“The court also held, correctly, that the administration’s belated attempt to call the insurance mandate a “tax” is nonsensical. “

If they can’t call mandated insurance a ‘tax’, then they can’t call insurance premiums a ‘tax’ either.
