but what is the difference willow? the penalty is THE SAME for the mandate, only now you can call it a tax penalty....big deal...nothing has changed what so ever...the mandate is constitutional, and if you break the rules of the mandate, you still have to pay a penalty, to the IRS....that was ALL in the original bill....it was always the IRS.That's old news....nothing was hidden on them, they were all mentioned when the Affordable Care Act was passed...hashed and rehashed by you all on the right....or did you forget that you have already whined and tantrum-ed on those taxes a few years ago?
but obama lied and said it wasn't a tax.. so I'll just keep repeating his lies if it's all the same to ewe.
People aren't stupid, a tax or a penalty, or a penalty tax, or a tax penalty....people who do not have insurance who can afford it, will have to pay it. The result is the same...the penalty money always went to the gvt....
It's a non-issue trying to be made an issue....
those that were fine with the mandate before this ruling, will be fine with the mandate now, regardless of what you decide to call the mandate penalty.
Those that were against the mandate before this ruling, are still against it, regardless of CJ roberts declaration.
tax
Almost everyone with a brain knew right from the beginning that you cannot add 30 million people to the rolls without it costing a huge amount of money. Approximately 20 million of those won't be able to pay so the TAXPAER will pick up the bill. Every time you buy an over the counter medication you are paying a TAX on the bill. There are 21 other tax hikes embedded within this bill. And their other source of revenue is the 500 Billion dollars they are going to steal from the people who need the most care. The seniors.
