NY Daily News: Chief Justice John Roberts to spend the summer in an "impregnable fortress"

"A day after drawing the ire of Republicans with his tie breaking vote to uphold Obamacare, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts quipped he would be spending the summer in an “impregnable fortress.”

Roberts’ humor underscores how he has been scorned by conservatives, who were counting on him to help strike down President Obama’s historic health care reforms."

Rightardia is certain Chief Justice Roberts made the right decision that was the best interests of US citizens.. Whether you call the individual mandate penalty a fine or a tax is not important. 

Based on the experience MA has with RomenyCare, the penalty will affect approximately 1 per cent of Americans who can afford insurance but are unwilling to purchase it. These are the Medicaid free riders or free loaders who go to the emergency rooms when they get sick. 

Once the Individual Mandate became law, insurance enrollment went form 90 per cent in MA to 98 per cent. All of the children in MA now have health insurance. 

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was based on the MA healthcare experiment. The Individual Mandate was a conservative idea, 

ObamaCare is a misnomer. It should be called ObomneyCare.
