Supreme Court OK's Obama's Health Care Law!
Like this post? Yes | No    

Today the Supreme Court upheld Obama's Health Care Law, in its entirety! Even the individual mandate to buy coverage is upheld. This is a huge victory for Obama and the American people. This means every American can now afford health care!

One funny thing about the announcement, both Fox News and CNN misread the decision saying that the individual mandate was struck down. They had to correct their announcement afterwards. The Supreme Court didn't think it right to force ppl to buy insurance, but they said the government could instead TAX people based upon income to cover their insurance.

Yes, folks the right wing dominated Supreme Court actually told the US gov't they could TAX people! Take that Republicans!

So get ready for more taxes. Let's hope the wealthy pay their share.

Yay! Now we just have to hope that the Republicans don't get control of both houses of Congress and the White House and repeal it.

Yea, well, what about the people that don't have health care? Don't they need it too?

The Supreme Court says it's Constitutional, so therefore it is, even though clearly it isn't. (Like the Supreme Court aren't in anyone's pockets... PLEASE!!) But the Constitution has become a joke anyway, and so is America at this point. I seriously question the intellect of anyone who buys into this shit at face value and actually believes it's about helping Americans (please!). Otherwise I could not care less about this issue, and could not be happier to see this country sink even further into the shithole. Thank you, Obama. Or, rather, thanks to his puppetmasters and the people pulling the strings of the Supreme Court.

Fuck America.

So they cannot force people to buy insurance, so they will just tax/steal the money from them. Nice!!!! That is so much in accordance with freedom and the Constitution that I could just cry tears of joy right now.

"Take that Republicans"? I cannot believe you're that much of an inside-the-box thinker, Skip. Most of the more informed people here know that's all bullshit, and that political parties don't mean shit. Most people have woken up to this, yet you still tow the establishment line after all this time.
