Only Chief Justice John Roberts got it right.
The liberal justices said the mandate was legal under the commerce clause, but Roberts had the brains and the guts to call it what it is, a tax.A spineless Congress, pledged to no new taxes, couldn't call it what it is. It is more than appropriate that anyone who does not purchase health insurance should pay a tax to help pay for his healthcare when he wraps his car around a tree. It's tax money that funds healthcare for the uninsured.Now that more and more Americans are realizing how much they are helped by many of the provisions of the law, perhaps the new Congress will get down to business and stop wasting our time and money.That is, unless we elect representatives to repeal the healthcare law.-- Barbara Rubin, Fort WorthHave more to add?
