US Supreme Court Upholds Affordable Health Care Act

[kandrathe]

As to your actual comment, I think you misread the decision just like Fox and CNN both did. The part found unconstitutional was the ability of the Feds to cut the Medicaid funding of the States.

Well, no. The federal government picks up a large share for the first two years, but it would be insanity for anyone in certain state governments to toss out their States fiscal order to lap up two years of federal coercion. Some states have no issues, and had no need for Obama-care in the first place.

If we stay with Alabama, for example, the shortfall after 2 years would be at least $160 million, which equates to a 5% increase to their income tax.
