On "This Week," George Stephanopoulos and President Obama have a colorful discussion over Obama's health care reform proposal.
Stephanopoulos takes issue with a mandate that obligates Americans to purchase health insurance, or risk being fined as much as $900. "How is that not a tax?"
"A responsibility to get health insurance is not a tax increase," Obama said.
Stephanopoulos then tells Obama that he looked up the definition of "tax" in Merriam Webster's dictionary.
"The fact that you looked up... the definition of tax increase indicates that you're stretching a little bit right now," Obama responded.

So now the Supreme Court has ruled that the Obamacare mandate penalty is legal because it is a tax. So either Obama is telling the truth and it's not a tax and therefore it is illegal, or it is legal but Obama is lying when he says it's not a tax.

99.9% of healthcare professionals hate Obamacare and want it repealed. If you don't think so, just ask your doctor and nurse. Don't take my word for it. ASK THE PROFESSIONALS!

Of course its going to be a tax increase. We are like 16 trillion on debt and now this communist wants to institute universal healthcare? he has to be doing it on purpose in order to collaps the economy, theres no way hes that stupid.

i dont think that "health care professional" is the same thing as "public policy professional"
