I thought Healthcare under this new plan wasn't a tax increase... ?
"Supreme Court says health mandate's a tax"
http://money.cnn.com/2012/06/28/…"The federal government does not have the power to order people to buy health insurance," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for a divided court. "The federal government does have the power to impose a tax on those without health insurance."
Yet over and over again... Obama says it's not a tax increase:
- Four members of the supreme court says it's a tax increase. Five say it isn't. Believe what you want.aaux
- so which is it then?PonyBoy
- If you're against the mandate, it's a tax increase. If you're for it, it's not.aaux
- So... the Chief Justice calls it a 'tax'... but it's... not a tax... ?PonyBoy
- Call it a fine if it makes you feel better. Were you thinking of not having insurance any time soon?DrBombay
