Chief Justice Roberts: Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye.

Friday, March 30, 2012 Death to Obamacare!

This legislation is and always was a typical Obama mess, a weak hopelessly convoluted diversion from what anyone with any sense knows we need: Medicare for all U.S. citizens, the ultimate single payer system.  Instead of honestly increasing taxes to pay for it Obama and his fellow Democrats passed a constitutionally suspect mandate that uninsured individuals must pay a modest penalty or be forced to buy insurance from a private company.  This mandate has evolved into a huge distraction and undermined the entire bill.

Obama continues to be a huge disappointment to those who voted for him in 2008 because of his promise of fundamental change.  As written here many times in various ways, Obama's policies have not varied from those of his predecessor.

It's better for the country for the Supreme Court to completely overturn the legislation so that whoever is elected president this year can work with the new Congress in 2013 to enact universal Medicare.

Enter the Chief Justice who inexplicably joined the four liberal justices by standing on his head to conclude that the penalty was a tax, which made the mess constitutional.

Wow.  Who the heck expected that?  Now Roberts has drawn the wrath of the lunatics.  Too bad.  My guess is that Roberts did not want his legacy to be that of precluding some people from having some health care.  But that's just a guess.

So now what?  Mitt Romney assures the lunatics that he will somehow stop the legislation from being implemented.  How?  If only Romney would say something even semi-intelligent.  On any topic.

Here are some questions for Eric Cantor, Congressional Representative from Virginia, and others who like making silly inane statements about all this:

1. How do you get health care?

2. Who pays?

3. How much do you pay?

4. What country's health care would you prefer to that in the USA?

5. How will the legislation impact you?
