Supreme Court: ‘Obamacare’ Constitutional

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that President Obama’s landmark healthcare bill, including the controversial “individual mandate,” is constitutional by a 5-4 majority.
“The Court holds that the mandate violates the Commerce Clause, but that doesn’t matter [because] there are five votes for the mandate to be constitutional under the taxing power,” SCOTUS Blog reports. “The bottom line: the entire ACA [Affordable Care Act] is upheld, with the exception that the federal government‘s power to terminate states’ Medicaid funds is narrowly read.”
The court’s decision comes as a major defeat to those who have fought against the healthcare overhaul since before President Obama signed it into law in 2010. U.S. citizens are still legally required to purchase insurance via the federal government and the bill’s expansion of Medicaid, although now limited, still stands. This means roughly 30 million uninsured low-income Americans are still eligible for coverage through the bill’s expansion of the state-run entitlement program.
However, if it’s any consolation, the court also ruled that the Commerce Clause does not give the government the authority to compel Americans to purchase a product. So at least there‘s there’s that, right?
“I am disappointed with today’s Supreme Court decision because the Court has cleared the way for what looks like a very broad use of the tax power. But we can still be very thankful that the court has defended the contours of the Commerce Clause,” said Carrie Severino, chief counsel, Judicial Crisis Network.
Chief Justice Roberts was joined by Justices Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, and Sonia Sotomayor in upholding the mandate.
“Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments,” Roberts wrote in his opinion (page six).
“Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices [emphasis added],” he added.
Needless to say, Chief Justice Roberts’ opinion has shocked many people.
“Wow. So Kennedy voted with conservatives, Roberts with liberals. Umpire, indeed,” the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein tweeted.
In his dissent, Justice Kennedy said “In our view, the entire Act before us is invalid in its entirety.”
After hearing oral arguments on the constitutionality of the bill in March, the Supreme Court Justices focused on these four points:
- Whether the “individual” mandate is constitutional
- Whether SCOTUS has the authority to rule on a tax law even though it hasn’t come into effect
- If the individual mandate is overturned, will it be cut from the rest of the law as a separate entity or will other provisions fall with it?
- Whether the law’s Medicaid expansion is constitutional
Of the four points discussed, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that, as a tax, the individual mandate is constitutional. Under the Commerce Clause, it doesn’t work, but as a tax, it’s legitimate.
Several analysts predicted that if the court ruled against the mandate, it would have negative long-term consequences on the president’s legacy and would weigh heavily on his reelection bid.
It doesn’t seem that way now.
Chief Justice Roberts, whose vote saved “Obamacare,” announced the court’s decision at 10:07 EST.

Posted on June 28, 2012 at 11:30amThe Supreme Court ruled it a tax… Which means Romney raised taxes significantly as Gov of MA… in addition to the massive fee hikes.
Nobody should be too surprised at this ruling. The Supreme Court has been ruling unconstitutional acts as constitutional for decades. The horrible effects of the Bush family are vile and long lasting. As luck would have it, Mitt Romney has filled his team with dedicated Bushites. Since Obama is Bush on steroids and Clinton was no better… no matter the outcome in November, we will be looking at a seventh term for the dreaded Bush dynasty (ninth, if you count the mess George Senior made as VP for Reagan). It’s a lose-lose for American citizens… whether Obama continues to carry the torch, or whether it is Romney.

I’m not giving up, but I am reminding you that the normal channels to effect change were officially made null and void today. We can‘t fight back if we don’t face reality. Our Restore America Plan has to factor in that monumental fact.

America is no longer the land of the free-government no has complete control of our lives and our decisions to do what we have been able to do since the Constitution was written. This is a death panel decision-period. I am both disgusted and outraged at that traitor John Roberts for siding with the other liberal justices at allowing the federal government to dictate to us-something that our Founders had tried to ensure against happening. This will be the largest tax increase in our histort-contributing to our downfall of our individual freedoms. As the bill is enacted, more evidence will be brought to light that this allows government intrusion into our every day lives. Mark this date down as the day America died.

Are you saying that Ron Paul could have stopped this ruling today if he was POTUS today or that he would do something to repeal it in Jan 2013?
No; Roberts has nasty skeleton in his closet, they found it and held it over his head. That’s why he voted progressive twice in one week. I spent yesterday listening to the March 27, 2012 SCOTUS debates and Roberts was against Onamacare. Now he’s for it. Ron Paul can‘t tell SCOTUS what to do and he definitely won’t do anything to protect us against the Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia Law.

Posted on June 28, 2012 at 1:18pmGod help me, I’m agreeing with Avengerk.
“and now Obama goes into an election year trying to explain raising taxes on everyone in a strained economy after telling us he won’t raise taxes on anyone earning under $250K a year.
At face value it’s a victory for Obama but once the questions start being asked to him (and they will) he has to say why told us it‘s not a tax and now it’s a tax and why everyone without insurance has to pay more taxes now.
Romney now has a a weapon with which to bludgeon Obama.”
This is only a “victory” for Obama in that the repeal would have been a major loss. By winning he keeps the same position… he doesn’t gain any ground. He blatantly lied about the individual mandate by saying it wasn’t a tax.
As for the rest of the hyperbole, no, I do not think millions of jobs will suddenly close up shop because of this. Remember, Obamacare has continued all during this case; it’s never stopped. Nothing is different today from yesterday; Obamacare is still the law. If a business didn’t close down when it first passed, there’s no reason for them to do so now.
That said, it‘s still a terrible freakin’ law, and I agree with the dissenting voice: this shouldn’t be Constitutional. It is, but it shouldn’t be. Bah.

Posted on June 28, 2012 at 4:04pmIf you have health insurance…CANCEL IT! Refuse to pay the tax! This truly is our tea party moment! I WILL NOT COMPLY! I WILL NOT COMPLY!
I canceled my insurance when this bill passed. And I found out something amazing…by putting what I paid to premiums in a savings account and paying cash for services, I pay WAY less for health care. Most providers offer cash payer discounts (usually 1/3 of the cost of what the insured pay). When I had health insurance, I had premiums, deductables, and copays and I ended up paying more. Now that I pay cash, I have an interest baring savings for health emergencies and control of my health decisions and I will not let the government take that from me.

It trademarked the names “THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT”, “United States”, “U.S.”, “U.S.A.”, “USA”, and “America”. It should be noted that this corporation was not simply a reformation of the municipality as it’s Organic Act was chartered in 1808.”

“don’t you see the sleight of hand Roberts did today?
He said to Obama..”ok..I can‘t keep this under the commerce clause because it’s not constitutional there..so I’m putting it in the tax section so you can keep it”.
By doing so -and by further complicating the states’ medicaid obligations -he’s made a bad situation worse legislatively, and handed Obama a steaming pile of dogsh#t to spin for the next five months. But of course Roberts was careful to include that his decision wasn’t reflective of the “wisdom” of the law..just the constitutionality of it. Well of course..once it was moved to a different area all of a sudden it was “constitutional”.
Obama’s legal team argued it was a tax because under the commerce clause they had no defense. It was a bait and switch. Tell the electorate it‘s not a tax but tell the SCOTUS it’s a tax. Ok..fine now it’s a tax and Obama has to explain it.”
You absolutely nailed it. Obama won his mandate, and now has to face the rest of election season listening to soundbites of him eating his own words.
IF it had been turned over today, it would have been a huge blow to his campaign. As is, they avoided the nuke… but are still going to have to deal with the fallout. I still don’t care for Romney, but I must admit I’ll look forward to seeing Obama squirm every time someone presses him on his new “tax.”

Report Post »Okie from Muskogee
Posted on June 29, 2012 at 3:37amChief Justice Roberts was the only “Conservative” who ruled correctly and honestly according to the law, as they swore to do.
1st-CJ Roberts clearly lays out Gov cannot force you to buy anything. That rules a Federal mandate unConstitutional, as it should be, and finally squash the attempt to expand upon the commerce clause in the future.
2nd-CJ Roberts properly defines the “penalty” for what it is, a tax. Each and every one of us have deducted our house, medical expense, a child birth, etc from our taxes. In doing so, we pay less in taxes than those who did NOT do whatever it was we deducted. That same principle applies here. If you choose NOT to buy healthcare, you pay a tax. If you buy healthcare you *deduct* that tax, paying less.
3rd-By properly ruling, he brought forth the reality to each and every one of us that Obamacare is a great big tax, that Congress can tax how they want according to 16th amendment and that it is our RESPONSIBILITY to elect Reps/Sen who will not tax us to death, if we do not want it. That both parties have been doing this same thing for YEARS.
I think ObamaCare stinks. It’s horrendous but CJ Roberts was appointed to rule according to law and that is what he did. Obama did not want to call it a TAX, why? Because we’d reject it even more. Judicial activism would be to declare it as something it isn’t, CJ Roberts did his job by calling it what it is, a TAX. Let’s do ours…

If we want to kneecap this tyranny in the making, we need to draft a constitutional amendment. Something along the lines of “There shall be no law or tax that compels, by non-criminal means, behavior that is otherwise protected from criminal prosecution.” I’m sure we need to have a lawyer or 100 refine it to remove any outs for the government, but the alternative is… horrifying, and apparently more and more necessary.
I’m agnostic, but I‘m praying to whatever got that may exist that we don’t need to resort to the true last-ditch of liberty, and for the strength of character to do the right thing, if we do.

This is not the first time government has forced citizens to buy insurance.How many here are old enough to remember back when we were forced to buy mandatory auto insurance.Yes boys and girls,there was once a time in this country when people drove the highways and byways without any mandatory liability insurance.Of course the mentality was different then.But was it different because of,or in spite of,the fact that people weren’t forced to buy insurance.Today you can’t drive a new car off the lot without first purchasing auto insurance.
These big government types are very patient,they’ll implement something small,like mandatory auto insurance,then once everyone becomes conditioned to it,bring out Obamacare.Not many years from now the next generations will look back,much like everyone does today about auto insurance,being conditioned to Obamacare,and wonder how people ever lived without it.

Have you ever read the Obamacare law? The entire thing? Until you have, you are only following the Party Line. I have read the entire thing, and it is scary.
It is not just health care. It determines who can get federal financial aid and determines what they can study if they do qualify (so much for freedom of education). It allows the government to access your accounts and remove money for any reason at any time (so much for freedom of income). If you are too poor to qualify for health insurance, it will penalize you with taxation to push you further into poverty.
So, what happens when the amount of health care costs, food stamps, and financial aid becomes more than the amount the government takes in taxes? What will we do then? We can’t borrow any more money. Printing more money doesn‘t fix it as we don’t have anything to base the money on. What happens?

This will destroy the country…all healthcare from an employer will now be dropped….companies will pay the “tax” instead of providing care…people will pay the “tax” and then get sick, get insurance since no pre-existing are allowed, then drop it right after….the government will be stuck with a $1 Trillion deficit every year this holds…on top of the $1.3 Trillion deficit already running…this will bankrupt the US in under 5 years….

Posted on June 28, 2012 at 10:44amI agree.
All this ruling has done is send a shock wave through the right and re-energized it to beyond its 2010 zenith.
This is a very mixed victory for the left. The “mandate” has been upheld for the very reason the administration claimed it was not: a tax.

“the 67% who are against Obamacare”
That’s b.s. and you know it. Poll after poll has shown that if you simply ask people if they support “Obamacare” many oppose it, because most of them don’t even know what it means; it’s become just a Conservative catchphrase for something evil, like Socialism and Communism. When people were told what the bill actually was (expanding healthcare to those who can’t afford it, people with preexisting conditions being allowed to buy insurance, etc), the numbers flipped, with a majority supporting it. Just goes to show you: the most effective tool of Conservatives is ignorance.

Posted on June 28, 2012 at 10:57amWe have a choice; retreat and surrender, or direct our anger into energizing ourselves…ensuring that Obama is defeated and conservatives are elected as a majority in BOTH houses of Congress.

Posted on June 28, 2012 at 11:28amTime for the unprecedented. I say we call for an Article V convention to ensure that this law can’t be enforced. The final state check on the Federal Govt must be implemented.

Yes, and when the citizens of those states that opt out see the benefits that citizens of others states are getting, the state governments of the opt out states will have to explain to them why they are going to die because they can’t get insurance, all so you can thumb your nose at the President.

Posted on June 28, 2012 at 10:36amsteelehead,dmerwin you two are mentally defective. N37bu6 you are entirely correct. Now the obama has won this, his ego will be the size of the entire earth. He will shortly be declaring himself President for life, suspend the Constitution, Bill of Rights, close the both houses of Congress ( well why not, those leeches did not do anything except collect pay checks and benefits, and slowly strangle freedom, obama will just do it faster) and declare marital law. God forgive the American people for letting this man forever becoming President in the first place. Another point, Europe went crazy when obama was elected, well me hearties, your joy will now turn to tears. Any country that does not allow Sharia law will no longer get those big fat checks that they have received for the last seventy years. Oh yes joy to sorrow. Good bye my beloved Country. The South is going to rise again, just to free from obama and Sharia law.

I’ve always said I learn more from reading the comments than from the article itself. I signed up because I just wanted to be with y’all today. {Well, some of you anyway}. How would we revolt? I mean really. How would we start it? What would we do first? I’m really starting to believe that is the only way. God help us. This Evil {Man?} must go!!

Posted on June 28, 2012 at 10:30pmNil desperandum, people. Let’s look at the silver lining.
In contradicting the “Preezy’s” oft-repeated statement that “this bill won’t raise taxes” by declaring that the so-called “buyer mandate” is actually a tax and thus Constitutional, Chief Justice Roberts has very possibly subtly destroyed MR. Obama chances for re-election.
Remember how MR. O swore up and down there would be no new taxes? Well, shucky darn and lo and behold – all of a sudden it IS a new tax ( perhaps several new taxes ). Who’d a thunk it?
Now if I were O’s opponent in the upcoming election I might just keep this little tidbit of information in the forefront of all my campaign speeches and political media advertisements, along with any other bothersome little details of the provisions of the bill that would adversely affect the average tax-paying American.
Any bets on how Independents and Democrats are going to react to this new tax come election time?
That sucking sound you hear is just the Democrat Party imploding under the weight of their lies and corruption.
