A federal appeals court has ruled that the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional. In the meantime, everything else in the law continues to be administered. The appeals court has directed the lower court to look at two issues: Is there any remaining part of the Act that can continue under the Constitution, and do states have the option of rejecting the law. [Collectivists in both major parties are in panic over the threat of losing government control over health care and passionately argue that millions of Americans will lose their health insurance if there are any serious restraints introduced to coverage. What they fail to say is that the American people already have lost their insurance. The fine print in the policies may look and read like insurance, but the reality is that they are a scheme to promise, promise, promise and tax, tax, tax until the system breaks, leaving only the political and financial elite with real health care. The rest will suffer and die prematurely and, in the meantime, live in poverty and slavery.] -GEG
