Health decision out of touch with most

The June 28, 5-4 decision legalizing Obamacare (aka the Affordable Care Act) adds taxes to an already-burdened American people. No real surprise there. That’s being going on for decades.

As we approach our 236th birthday, recall that renegade colonies labored under excessive taxes from a king 3,000 miles away. They didn’t oppose taxes, but “taxation without representation.” Our legal representatives have spoken. The voice of the American people has yet to be heard. Now let’s see how struggling Americans come up with the money to pay a bill they can’t afford.

“The Affordable Care Act” deceitfully spins this law as a positive event. Recall the Nazis called the extermination of Jews the “Final Solution.”

Now that it’s legal in America to make everyone buy health insurance, what happens to those who can’t? What red tape will now be added to people’s lives? What expensive bureaucracy will grow this morbidly obese government even more?

While the Roberts’ crossover vote makes the Supreme Court appear bipartisan, this wrong decision is out touch with the economic status of most Americans.
