[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 988614, member: 1246"] The SCOTUS made it a tax and the IRS will enforce it........or else it would've been struck down under commerce. Read it fool: In its 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the so-called individual mandate could be upheld only because it fell within Congress' authority to tax. However, that is not how the Obama administration originally sold it. In fact, in a 2009 interview, President Obama adamantly rejected the notion that the penalty for not buying insurance amounted to a tax hike. "You can't just make up that language and decide that that's called a tax increase," Obama said, scolding his interviewer. Now that the high court says it is a tax, Republicans say the law will be more unpopular. And the fight will surely go on.
