The law, Roberts wrote, “makes going without insurance just another thing the Government taxes, like buying gasoline or earning income. And if the mandate is in effect just a tax hike on certain taxpayers who do not have health insurance, it may be within Congress’s constitutional power to tax.” Supreme Court upholds health care law - NBC Politics

When ever aspect of your life can be regulated or taxed then I doubt you will see this as a victory.

This decision really doesn't matter. If anything it clarified the terms for the debates this election. Robert's didn't want to be the one who overturned this, so he punted it back to the political arena with defined terms.

We all have the freedom and liberty which the Founding Fathers intended. Now, we have the Freedom of Insurance.:p

No, now you have the freedom to buy insurance from a company, pay a fine/tax for it, or go to jail.

Took them over two hundred years, but the experiment failed. R.I.P. Individual Liberty.

For the time being, the federal government's power to make us do as they see fit is in your favor. That will not always be the case. You will soon learn the error of your line of thinking. And I promise you that I do not look forward to anyone learning that lesson.

This will most certainly solidify the camps that are in support and in opposition to Obamacare and they will be picking their candidate based on this. Unfortunately, there is still not much of a choice.
