The Court said the individual mandate was unconstitutional, then declared the funding for Obamacare to be a tax (which it is). I am personally relieved that the Court ruled that the government cannot force a person to buy anything.
Looks like Obama will still need to convince the overwhelming majority of Americans who still hate the law to suddenly embrace it, along with an enormous new tax to pay for it in a horrible economy, all in four months.
Not saying it is impossible, but look back to 2010 and along with the fact that public opinion has not wavered in three years, Obama has his work cut out for him.
In my opinion, the law will be repealed before it gets a chance to be implemented by a new administration and we will all look back on this as a horrible but necessary mistake needed in order to define the role of the government.
Before Snopes.com, this was all over alt.folklore.urban called "glass flow" about ten years ago (wow). As I recall the discussion went on for about a year and no one pinned it down.

Wow/ What a hero you are.
Anyone here remember that?
Ted pretty much hit it on the head.
