Re: SCOTUS LIVEBLOG - Obamacare Mandate Survives-Part 2
This post is a great big pile of disinformation.
Employers are being told they must provide insurance care per the act or be fined. That is not the commerce clause talking, it is the mandate----which the SCOTUS would only allow to be constitutional under the power to tax. So yes, it is the tax and the commerce clause absolutely does not control.
You are either trolling, ignorant of the ruling or so partisan that you dont care your posts are wrong.
No, that is clearly under the commerce clause, not a tax. We already have tons of requirements about benefits packages and whatnot. Nothing new there. This whole silly hypothetical issue about inaction doesn't apply there, since employers are doing something- employing people.
