Yea MT. It really sucks that Americans will now have health coverage.

No, it sucks that there's a new $2.9 Trillion Dollar Tax on Americans
STEPHANOPOULOS: That may be, but it's still a tax increase. OBAMA: No. That's not true, George. The — for us to say that you've got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase. What it's saying is, is that we're not going to have other people carrying your burdens for you anymore than the fact that right now everybody in America, just about, has to get auto insurance. Nobody considers that a tax increase. People say to themselves, that is a fair way to make sure that if you hit my car, that I'm not covering all the costs.
Health Care Reform... "Health Reform Hits Main Street"

The cost of Obamacare??? 2% of the federal budget... (source CBO)
We now spend over 50% of the federal budget on the military. Time to cut the Tanks and fund Americans Health.

The Dems got their dream legislation but it will cost them dearly at the poles in November since the majority of citizens still hate the law and now that to pay for this law there's going to be a huge tax increase will make people hate the law even more. Even Obama didn't want people to know it was a tax and now the world knows.
The House will vote on a full repeal of President Obama's health care law during the week of July 9. The scheduling of another repeal vote came less than an hour after the Supreme Court upheld the health care mandate. Said House Speaker John Boehner: "Today's ruling underscores the urgency of repealing this harmful law in its entirety."

Phew!!! I can quit my job. Somebody else can work to pay for the medical problems that I may develop due to my diet and habits. What a great day in America. The day personal responsibility died and collectivism has been officially instituted.
The Republicans only need 4 seats to take the US Senate and I think the Supreme Court just helped them to accomplish that. The truth Box is that the Reps had ideas but the Dems didn't want to hear them, shut them out of all discussion of the bill behind a locked door, refused to let the Dems go home to pole their constituents, and passed it without a Rep vote at midnight against the wishes of 71% of the population. How soon we forget but people will be reminded many times before now and November.
“Americans were promised lower health care costs. They’re going up.
“Americans were promised lower premiums. They’re going up.
“Most Americans were promised their taxes wouldn’t change. They’re going up.
“Seniors were promised Medicare would be protected. It was raided to pay for a new entitlement instead.
“Americans were promised it would create jobs. The CBO predicts it will lead to nearly 1 million fewer jobs.
“Americans were promised they could keep their plan if they liked it, yet millions have learned they can’t.
“And the President of the United States himself promised up and down that this bill was not a tax.
“This was one of the Democrats’ top selling points — because they knew it would have never passed if they said it was. The Supreme Court has spoken. This law is a tax.
“This bill was sold to the American people on a deception. But it’s not just that the promises about this law weren’t kept. It’s that it’s made the problems it was meant to solve even worse.
“The supposed cure has proved to be worse than the disease.
“So it’s not just that the promises about this law weren’t kept. It’s that it has made the problems it was meant to solve even worse.
