Praise Gawd. Bring it on!

Well they could.

If they could get past a filibuster.

Which they can't.

They Already voted to repeal Obamacare ....it didn't work

The GOP will need 60 votes to repeal and it will never happen. Even if at some future date they got 60 votes, Obamacare will be so entrenched in peoples lives that they will never stand for it

Republicans have been trying to repeal Social Security for 75 years. How has that worked out?

You are Really buying the FoxNews propaganda aren't you?

How is it the largest tax increase in history?

Only the insurance mandate penalty was declared a tax and that only affects those who do not have insurance. Do you have insurance?

Its almost as if they do not have anything between their ears; is it not?

You should try and stay current. The Senate filibuster rule does not apply to revenue issues.

Perhaps the Supremes will have to take this up and decide whether or not it is a tax?

oh wait...

They just did!

When people start getting taxed..Well, I expect many democrats to break ranks and to vote with the republicans between now and 2015.

As should you.

Democrats control the Senate. Any move to repeal the tax will get tabled.

 

[Zxereus]

Yep, don't need a super-majority, just a simple majority.
By the way, did I mention there are far more Dem senate seats up for re-election than GOP ?

An adult who does not have health insurance by 2014 will be fined $95.00 or 1% of their income.

By 2016 the penalty increases to $695.00 for an adult and up to $2085.00 or 2.5% of their income whichever is greater.

Sarah, dont fall into dispare. Things are not as bad as you seem to think they are, in fact this is a very good day.

By the way Sarah, did you ever answer my question ?

 

[Katzndogz]

The sure way to get rid of obamacare is to get rid of obama and the democrat majority in the senate too. Replace the democrats in Congress while we're at it.

Once again, the absurdly broad taxing authority of the Federal government is confirmed and re-affirmed by the Supreme court. What would be nice is a constitutional amendment here, but I won't hold my breath.

Justice Roberts capped limits of the Commerce clause and did not succumb to judicial activism by saying Obamacare cannot be justified under Federal taxing authority.

Obamacare is a political issue now, and as a revenue matter will be decided by simple majority votes.

Works for me!

A Democratic Senate with 60 votes could pass a tax on all income that would get us a real health care system, a single payer universal health care system. That would be sanity.
