She thought she was ruling on the constitutionality of ObamaCoup but what she wrote was:
To put it less analytically, and less charitably, those who choose--and Plaintiffs have made such a deliberate choice--not to purchase health insurance will benefit greatly when they become ill, as they surely will, from the free health care which must be provided by emergency rooms and hospitals to the sick and dying who show up on their doorstep. In short, those who choose not to purchase health insurance will ultimately get a “free ride†on the backs of those Americans who have made responsible choices to provide for the illness we all must face at some point in our lives.
Let's reword that for a moment:
To put it less analytically, and less charitably, those who choose--and Plaintiffs have made such a deliberate choice--not to file local, state and federal taxes at levels that incur tax liabilities will benefit greatly when they require government assistance, as they surely will, from the free welfare, education, retirement and other social services provided by the government. In short, those who choose not to accept tax liabilities will ultimately get a “free ride†on the backs of those Americans who have made responsible choices to provide for those services we all must face at some point in our lives.
By federal judicial decree we may now madate compulsory labor in exchange for government assistance especially if the individual receiving those benefits elects to accept tax exemption.
