Is There a Silver Lining to the Supreme Court's Obamacare Decision?

In a 5-to-4 decision, the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act by ruling that the individual mandate is legal under Congress' power of taxation, while giving states more flexibility in deciding whether to participate in the law's Medicaid expansion.

Nick Gillespie sat down with Reason Magazine Senior Editor Peter Suderman to discuss today's ruling and its implications for health care policy.

Approximately 8 minutes.

'buy some land so you can grow some potatoes, cabbage and raise some livestock to feed yourself and your family

[polamer]

I just ask myself a question

'how many steers will I have to raise to pay for this crap'

Free man I am not. That have made a serf out of me.

I guess it makes American Revolution just plain pointless.
