10:08 Amy Howe: The individual mandate survives as a tax. 10:09 Amy Howe: It's very complicated, so we're still figuring it out. 10:10 Kali: We are still here. Don't worry. 10:10 Tom: So the mandate is constitutional. Chief Justice Roberts joins the left of the Court. | ||

You're just scare mongering.No, his argument is not about healthcare. Go re-read it again: "It just sets a bad precedent, because if they find this legal, the next time they use this method it may not be on a product as useful to everyone." Basic health insurance (which covers everything a person needs) costs me about €100/month which is about $125. How much does such insurance costs in the US? | ||

A quick overview of the ruling: A divided Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Obama administration’s health-care law, in one of the most anticipated high-court rulings in a generation. The court said Congress was acting within its powers under the Constitution when it required most Americans to carry health insurance or pay a penalty—the provision at the center of the two-year legal battle. It upheld the mandate as a tax, in an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts. Time for the tea party to start marching on the white house. | ||

The argument wasn't based on whether it was constitutional or whether it's good public policy. The argument was that this is a slippery slope, but it's never been a slippery slope in any other country with universal coverage. | ||

You're just scare mongering. Only is in the US are people this paranoid and have this little faith in actual democracy and their government. Today they're making us by healthcare, tomorrow, they'll make us buy broccolli! But seriously, when you follow American's politics long enough, it's hard not to be skeptical. Anyway, I think even the though the individual mandate is a clunky mechanism of expanding the risk pool so that health insurers can provide better coverage, it's a step. The American Health Care system needs serious reform. | ||
