Well this crappy legislation just can't catch a break. You'd think by now, just ONE judge that has tried the constitutionality of the Healthcare gangbang would rule in favor of mandating American citizens pay up to the Liberals lord and masters over on Wall Street.
They've got campaign fund reciprocation promises to keep.
Atlanta (CNN) -- A federal appeals court in Atlanta has ruled key portions of the sweeping health care reform bill passed last year to be unconstitutional.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals said the so-called individual mandate, the requirement that most Americans purchase health insurance by 2014 or face severe financial penalties, could not pass muster.
"The individual mandate exceeds Congress's enumerated commerce power and is unconstitutional," the court ruled. "This economic mandate represents a wholly novel and potentially unbounded assertion of congressional authority: the ability to compel Americans to purchase an expensive health insurance product they have elected not to buy, and to make them re-purchase that insurance product every month for their entire lives."

Activist judge! Activist judge! Activist judge!
Congress clearly has the authority to enrich corporations! Stand with me my conservative friends and oppose this activist judge. He is destroying jobs!

That was a very conservative judge and he did the right thing. Congress shouldn't sell us at Costco discount to private middleman industry.
And yes I do think Obama is a socialist. Instead of being right in the middle, he has a tendency to go far left and fire up class warfare and demand more government programs (without ability to pay for existing once)

Conservative judge?!?!!!? He ruled that the majority of Obamacare was Constitutional! Making the mess even bigger, he struck down the one rule that said government couldn't compel citizens to enrich corporations! Outrageous!
Enriching corporations creates jobs for the underclass. Do you oppose jobs?

Mussolini combated an economic recession by introducing the "Gold for the Fatherland" initiative, by encouraging the public to voluntarily donate gold jewellery such as necklaces and wedding rings to government officials in exchange for steel wristbands bearing the words "Gold for the Fatherland". Even Rachele Mussolini donated her own wedding ring. The collected gold was then melted down and turned into gold bars, which were then distributed to the national banks.

Might I recommend a steel collar? If the servants must live longer and carry on in our midst, I'd rather it provided me with some amusement. But TOT is probably right, best to just let the underclass die off faster. They breed fast anyways.

I looked at the article, and I didn't see the words "Psycho pinko Socialist and a Dandee too!" anywhere.
You've stated over & over that you don't care what I, or pretty much anyone else, has to say about healthcare. I'm sure that will hold true until you require Medical care and your private insurance company issues a denial for the service. At that point, you'll blame Obama or whichever Democrat represents your district, state, and country.
Healthcare should never be an option. It shouldn't be about enriching corporations that make their money by denying benefits. It shouldn't be about anything else than making sure we have a healthy population. Everyone.
By the way, you continue to put patrick at risk by posting articles rather than a link and writing a summary - but I guess you're proving that your posts flaunting your apathy for your fellow man are all true. That, and with your writing style, we wouldn't be able to understand your meaning.
Hell, even when you just write a headline, we need a translator.
Have you read about the sites that have been sued for copyright violation and the continued legal fight? This is going to get much worse.
Just wondering if you'll be donating to the legal fund the day Patrick is served for violating copyright laws... No, I'm sure that you'll sit back and blame Patrick for having the site that allows you to post content.
Hell you'll probably sue Patrick for enabling you.

-Said donations given directly to the rich
How this is and example of socialism I don't know.

That is specifically NOT socialism. How is requiring people to hand money to private industry an example of socialism? The government is requiring that people use private capitalist companies to provide their healthcare. Keep digging.

You know ToT, with every post you just get more incomprehensible.
At least you admit that your "example" isn't indicative of Socialism.
I'm still waiting for one of you conservatives/teabaggers/libertarians/republicans to come up with one shred of unbiased evidence based on unbiased facts that shows that President Obama and the USA as a whole are completely and entirely socialist.

po' people get it for free, or close to it.
Family of 4 making $35,000 only has to pay 14% of the $10,000 insurance premium.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
But poor Patrick, if he makes more than $46,000, doesn't get any cheese at all.
To the extent PPACA is going to fall on the upper middle class, it's going to suck for us.
Obama let all these ghetto people into our system, and, worse, we've now got to pay their premiums.
