I don't think Obamacare law is unconstitutional.

Have you read the constitution?

Under what authority in the Constitution does it give Congress or the President or the courts the power to order you to buy health insurance simply because you are alive?

“Under what authority in the Constitution does it give Congress or the President or the courts the power to order you to buy health insurance simply because you are alive? “

By the same method they use to force you into social security. The way the system was before ocare was not much better or else there would not be popular appeal for major reforms. In the long run we would have ended up at the same place.

Two things:

1. That is not the issue in this court case.

2. The Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare is a Tax. As stupid as that ruling was it is nevertheless the law.

This case, the one that should doom Obamacare is about the rebates flowing from the Federal Treasury to the States that have not set up there own Exchanges. Those rebates are not legal. For states that have set up their own Exchanges those rebates are legal.

That doesn't mean there are not possible Constitutional challenges that could be brought against Obamacare. But that is not the case in question.
