    Here's a calculator that the Washington Post devised: if you're single, out of college, over 26, burdened with student loans, and jobless, then you'll have to pay an additional $3,400 a year, or a $700 penalty…niiiiiice

    If your 26, single, and have 0 adjusted gross income you fall under medicare, so its free. Also it won't affect your own firm if you have less than 15 employees.

    I don't qualify for MEDICAID. MEDICARE is for the elderly. So I, Like most, will be unjustly taxed.

    I don't qualify for MEDICAID. MEDICARE is for the elderly and medicare is not free, the elderly have to pay for Plan B benefits.

    So I, Like most, will be unjustly taxed.

    In other news, the Supreme Court also ruled that the Montana Law limiting Campaign contributions was unconstitutional, refusing to re-visit the Citizens United ruling from a few years ago. Which corporation will be the next president? Any guesses??

    If Unions can spend gobs of cash on an election, a corporation (which like a Union, is really just a group of people) should be able to as well.

    @mena je twa – crazy reports about Roberts' epilepsy and how the medication “affects his cognitive abilities.” Also, many are saying he switched at the last second since most of the documents switch “dissent” and “joint opinion” or whatever (someone with more legal expertise feel free to correct lol). They're also saying this might have been the best political move to remove Obama…it gives the GOP HUGE ammunition heading into November. Regarding the Constitutionality though is a different matter.

    Starting all over.

    This is huge! Companies will keep on NOT hiring because they still don't know what their costs will be – so it will affect not only those that want to own their own firm someday, but also those looking for a traditional job both now and in the future.

    Also, firms don't have an infinite pool of money to pay for salaries and benefits. Therefore, if a company wanted to pay you more money and not offer health benefits (instead you could use that higher salary to go purchase high deductible insurance at a fraction of the “company benefit” cost) – they will no longer be able to do that. They will either offer health insurance or pay a fine and there doesn't seem to be a way that the employee can choose what is best for themselves and their families.

    Vote the tax raising jerks out!

    This is a great analogy: https://hotair.com/archives/2012/06/29/a-modest-proposal/

    I don't understand why people are “shocked.” The Supreme Court's only responsibly is to judge the constitutionality of legislature; not to render an opinion about whether it's best for the United States. They're constitutional scholars and based on their opinion and knowledge of the constitution, they stated that the health care bill is not unconstitutional. That's it. The Republicans will certainly still have their chance to take it down, especially in an election year.

    The Dems and Repubs are coming up with crazy theories about how dilusioned John Roberts is, and is on certain medication and what not…

    See, i think Roberts voted on whether Obama care is constitutional or not!!!. What he also did was renamed this bill as a

    “TAX” – this is not what Obama and company wanted this to be. Obama is calling this is a penalty.

    This whole thing, in my opinion is a dog and pony show…

    To me the “shocking” part is that the S.Ct. said that the government can “tax” me for something I'm not doing. So if the government says I must drive a 100 mpg Kia and I don't drive one, can the government “tax” me because I choose to drive a Nissan instead? What if I don't like milk…can they tax me for not drinking milk? Then when I go to the doctor and they ask me if I drink milk and I say “no”, will my health insurance be in force because I didn't do everything the government mandated I do (e.g. drinking milk) to stay healthy?

    The S.Ct. opinion is a clear over reach of individual liberty!
