Am I missing something? Didn’t Justice Roberts rule that failure to comply to the ACA that the Administration could not “fine” but rather TAX the offending party.

I must be missing something, because there is not a law in the land that supports being TAXED for something not purchased. Especially, something one had no intention of ever purchasing.

Obama care is as empty as the ‘one’ ......

There is a premise that one does not have standing to object to a tax in court unless youve paid the tax. ...there is now standing on that as well.

You hit the crux of it. How does one tax an absence of commerce, or tax the lack of any activity for that matter? Rather it is a tax on "being". Under this legislative abomination, this is a penalty for having done nothing more than having been born.
