Ok, I was wrong, you can't refuse to pay the tax. Well, I guess you can refuse to pay taxes, but we know how that goes.

You know as well as I do that the repubs are going to have a field day with that. They will spin it as a new tax no matter what. I didn't really think Obama was going to win in November but I have a feeling this is going to help tip some people over to Rmoneys side.

His key piece of legislature, which is liked by a majority of citizens, being ruled constitutional will help him. imo

Isn't it only a tax if you DON'T have insurance?

**Tyche** · 2012-06-28 09:29

Holy fuck. Kennedy said the entire act should be struck down. All of it. In its entirety.

Best parts stand: Insurance can't drop you for pre-existing conditions. Getting rid of "Lifetime limits".

Yes. But hes saying that this is going to be the Republican talking point.

**Dimmauk** · 2012-06-28 09:35

This is so hilariously awesome! So glad it passed.

**Komm Suesser Tod** · 2012-06-28 09:36

I am very pleased indeed. Can't wait to see how this gets spun by the various news organizations though.

**Dimmauk** · 2012-06-28 09:37

I'm glad the republicans aren't gloating right now.

**Tyche** · 2012-06-28 09:37

When I first checked CNN right after the decision, it had a huge bold headline stating "mandate struck down". Now it's just a big bold "Upheld". Fucking media.

**TacoTaru** · 2012-06-28 09:38

Can't wait for all the crying and bawwing that is going to occur on my Twitter and Facebook feeds today.

Losing any less than 5 friends today will be a disappointment for me.
