There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Stocks extended their losses Thursday, wiping out all of the previous session's gains, amid skepticism that European leaders would be able to form a solution to tackle the ongoing debt crisis and following the Supreme Court’s ruling on the health-care bill. The Supreme Court upheld the individual health insurance requirement in President Obama's health-care law, a victory for Democrats and Obama. Medicaid-related stocks such as Amerigroup [AGP 65.02 2.62 (+4.2%) ] and Molina [MOH 22.41 1.09 (+5.11%) ] jumped following the announcement. And hospital stocks including Universal Health [UHS 40.60 1.35 (+3.44%) ], Community Health [CYH 27.29 1.80 (+7.06%) ] and Tenet Healthcare [THC 5.28 0.30 (+6.02%) ] rallied. But most managed care companies such as Cigna [CI 43.81 -1.59 (-3.5%) ], Wellpoint [WLP 65.54 -3.95 (-5.68%) ] and Aetna [AET 39.32 -1.64 (-4%) ] dragged. “It’s a pretty clear negative. Until the election [in November], public policy uncertainty was going to be on the rise, dampening business confidence,†Barry Knapp, head of U.S. equity portfolio strategy at Barclays. “This clearly plays into that theme and it leaves a whole bunch of unanswered questions….Markets were going down anyway and this is just going to be a pretty clear negative catalyst over the next or two as opposed to something to stop the bleeding.â€
This will add another payroll deduction. This is the largest tax increase in American history.
Senator Mitch McConnel is going to make a statement about repealing it here soon.
I thought of another good thing: If it were 5-4 the other way, there would be a huge, huge mess. Conservatives and republicans won't break shit, we'll just vote to repeal the hell out of theis nightmare.
I suppose your employer will be required to inform the IRS if you have a health insurance plan or not. More paperwork for them ratting out their coworkers.
You guys aren't looking at the BIG picture. For the first time in history a precedent has been set that mandates you to buy something JUST for Damn living. They can now force you to buy ANY ****ing thing. Romney getting elected is going to fix it? Roberts stupid ass was a Damn Bush appointee. R and D. All the ****ing same. Progressive pieces of fly-covered dog shit.
This just in: Eric Cantor has announced that the week of July 9th (When they get back), they will start the repeal process. That is good news.
There's a bright side to all of this.The left cannot use Romneycare as a hit piece during the campaign. This is going to help Romney, big time.
Had the Court ruled that the individual mandate is a proper use of federal power under the Commerce Clause, all hope would have been lost. Taxing is one thing. But the ability to issue regulations and mandates outside of the taxing power would have literally put no limits on the power of the federal government.
And they can kiss universal healthcare good-bye. If this stands, then it'll be what we have. If it doesn't, it won't be revisited for a long, long time. Either way, no single-payer/universal care..
Read above. Doesn't matter if it's repealed. We'll be fighting these mandate battles, for EVERYTHING, till the end of time, 1 step forward, 2 steps back, losing a little liberty at every battle. This nation is done. Stick a fork in us. Ayn Rand was a Damn psychic.
Since we are taxing people for not having health insurance, how about we tax the leaches for not working?
Reb, No they can't. They can tax you. They always could. Roberts saved the Commerce Clause. From RB Pundit: Quote"Had the Court ruled that the individual mandate is a proper use of federal power under the Commerce Clause, all hope would have been lost. Taxing is one thing. But the ability to issue regulations and mandates outside of the taxing power would have literally put no limits on the power of the federal government."It only takes 51 votes to repeal a tax.
Racist. /DUmode
