The much anticipated Supreme Court decision on the poorly named Patient Affordable Care Act has arrived. Poorly written, poorly defended, and now poorly decided.
Obamacare cannot be constitutional under the commerce clause. This strikes the mandate. But….if it is re-written as a tax, it could pass muster. So Congress can tax business for its law, but is that what this is?
Expected confusion to remain. The economy and businesses have not received a message of clarity. The economic decline can continue.
