Re: SCOTUS LIVEBLOG - Obamacare Mandate Survives-Part 2
Here is a NY Times article that compares Romnies plan and Obamacare.
Massachusetts State law…………. Yes, or pay up to a $1,200 a year penalty.
Affordable Care Act……………. Federal law, Yes,or pay a penalty of $95 a year in 2014, then $695 a year in 2016, when penalty fully implemented.
Instead of C and P the whole article, check out the link. To these bloodshot ole eyes it looks like mittens plan is the template for obamacare.:2wave:

Hmm, so the thing going on with Catholic institutions, thats the GOP plan? How about the elimination of HSAs? How about elimination of numerous medical plans? How about the minimum floor for coverage where the penalty kicks in? How about the doc fix, that tore up medicare funding? How about all the tax structures that are set up? The 1099 minimum reporting? Are you REALLY saying thats all the GOP? Because I dont think so. They took the mandate, which was a neccessary evil of implementation and made it even ****tier in true DC fashion.
Again, states are the proper way to both establish a mandate and experiment with various laws and structures to find what works and what does not.
