Account Deleted By User We all knew it, and mentioned it, back on other boards, as soon as the individual mandate's tax penalty was removed: that "as a tax" was the legal fiction by which John Roberts got ACA around the insurmountable hurdle of Interstate Commerce restrictions. Never mind, that Congress had repeatedly said that "it's not a tax."  (and never mind that tax bills have to originate in the House.) Now, the ACA gets declared Unconstitutional under Interstate Commerce, together with the lack of severability from the individual mandate. Thus, the entire bill fails inspection at a Federal bench, yesterday. Last winter, Pelosi was constantly holding press conferences about repealing the ACA, ordering that "he (Trump) has to REPLACE it." Oops, she can't say that to a federal judge. Worse still, DEMS keep demanding healthcare "for all,"  intentionally leaving out any limitation to US citizens. They clearly want global welfare, no citizenship required, nor nationality questioned (same as they do for welfare, voting, education, food stamps, social security trust fund, disability (SSID,) and all other gov't benefits.
