As I noted earlier today the GOP rather quickly shifted from fighting Obamacare on whether it was constitutional to compel Americans to buy health insurance. The Obama administration argued that the Commerce Clause allowed the legislation to stand. Both parties were hit with a blindside from Chief Justice John Roberts, whose decision stated that the bill fell under the federal government’s power to levy taxes.
As The Daily Show’s John Stewart points out, the GOP has wasted no time in switching tactics from opposing forced commerce to claiming quite confidently (as if they’d known it all along) that mandate amounts to a tax. According to Rush Limbaugh, the biggest tax ever.
Watch the video and enjoy watching them bloviate.

Millions of illegals will now get free healthcare. The democrats in 2010 removed all verification and elegibility requirements from the bill TWICE and put in their place a simple statement that illegals are not eligible. It is a joke. That is like saying no illegals will cross the border because we have a sign forbidding them to do so.
bend over taxpayers, it is coming. hahahahahah!
God Bless Arizona for trying to enforce Federal immigration law Washington REFUSES to enforce!
Jon Stewart is THE MAN on lying to America about immigration!

Please point out in the bill where millions of illegals will get free healthcare. As it is, your beloved Reagan made that rule… if you go the ER you get free healthcare no matter what country you are from. So thank HIM for allowing illegals to get free healthcare. Oh wait, I forgot. The infallible Ronald Reagan can do no wrong. Silly me.

It actually saves money to give illegals halth care, otherwise they use the emergency room and we all pay more.
