Obamacare Open Thread

I thought about posting on a few other things this morning (this story on Mexican medical tourism in the New York Times fails to mention the costs of regulation or liability insurance when evaluating why costs are cheaper) but I can't think about anything other than the Supreme Court.
So as we prepare for a deluge of postings* analyzing the ruling, let this be our open thread for all things Obamacare.
*And contributor livechats. Ben Domenech's live thread. Avik Roy & NRO friends live chat.

Over to you, Governor Romney.

Re: Obamacare Open Thread
The mandate has been upheld. This is good news. Obamacare now becomes the major issue in the upcoming presidential election. The Tea Party will now pour out in droves. Yes, this is good news.

Parsing will take time, but this is entirely not fine by me.

The upside, if there is one, is that Romney gets a boost from this.

This is awful - Do you think Romney can be strong enough to do the right thing?

Re: Obamacare Open Thread
Roberts voted with the libs, not Kennedy?!!
So if they upheld it. And if they upheld it on the grounds that it is a tax...
Bad constitutional precedent, but is that not even worse political news for Obama?

Avik Roy: Chief Justice Roberts saved Obamacare.
Bush's legacy just took an enormous hit.

Re: Obamacare Open Thread
I'm reading that it was 5-4. And Roberts was the deciding vote? Bizarro world.

Is it too late to get a new nominee?

Re: Obamacare Open Thread
This is a huge disappointment, that this unwieldy monstrosity was left intact. Romney gets a new issue: The huge tax imposed by Obama. Expect to see Romney jump in the polls.

Re: Obamacare Open Thread
I knew Kennedy would do the right thing. I never liked Roberts. I'm getting back to work now so I can pay for everyone's health insurance.

So government can tax us into compliance...someone over there is a bit light on his Robin Hood, me thinks.

Re: Obamacare Open Thread
This is your line in the sand. All three branches have now abrogated their responsibility to the Constitution. Do we roll over yet again and do nothing, or do we actually reassert our rights as the People?

OK, Obama lied. He raised our taxes.

November gives us a unique opportunity to overturn the SCOTUS for once.
