Individual Mandate and ObamaCare


BBC News: Reports that the Conservative appointed Justices seems sceptical of the Individual Mandate, in essence if your are born in the US you have to buy private insurance. It can be postulated that the Court might revoke the Individual Mandate but keep the rest of ObamaCare. The problem with that is that the mandate funds the other part of the Act. On the last day the Court will look if these two aspects can be separated. In pure political terms, in Chicago terms it might be good for the Oval if the Court does strike down ObamaCare, then the issue is off the table, if not it become the central issue of 2012 the race. This blog has some late night reading to see if it can read the mind of the Justices.
