It means the govt. can’t force you to buy health insurance, but they can tax you if you don’t.
Unless you’re Muslim. Don’t forget that part. If you’re Muslim you don’t have to buy insurance; you’re exempted by Obama. Presumably that means that you don’t have to pay a tax for not buying the insurance either.
IOW, the net effect of this is that Muslims don’t pay a dime, and the infidels ALL pay a tax.
Just like sharia dictates.
This isn’t a total loss, in fact it is a win. Obama and the Dems swore this wasn’t a tax, yet it only survived by SCOTUS deeming it a tax. Taxes are bad politically and Obama will be even less popular. This guarantees an Obama electoral defeat. And the fact it is deemed a tax, said tax can be repealed by the legislative branch just as it was imposed by them. SCOTUS merely kicked this back to the legislative branch like the cowards they are (5 of them). Pyrrhic victory for Obama

Well we would be getting taxed for this monstrosity either way. At least now people can opt out.
I guess that’s somewhat ok. Just wait until those who don’t want the healthcare bill get a huge tax for it...the constituents will not likely.
