Yeah, I've seen this come up since then as well. Still not quite 38.

Ok, 50 minus 12. :) That's 37 + Texas.

And from my perspective a waste of tax payer's money. The way the "mandate" will be argued in a court is that this law creates a tax on individuals and that those who purchase insurance essentially get a credit for that tax. That may not be the politically expedient way to describe it but that's what it will boil down to as far as the law is concerned and there is no legal argument against it.

State's AG's are typically lawyers and Governor wannabes. It is politically expedient for them to make a big name for themselves, usually at taxpayer expense.

As for the merits of the case... It's the SCOTUS... Who knows how this will turn out... I predict a 5-4 decision.
