The health care reform law specifies that there are no criminal penalties, liens, or civil penalties for non-payment of the tax penalty for not having health insurance coverage.
So, if you decide not to pay the penalty, there's nothing the government can do to make you.

Yeah, I guess that's actually true. Though I'm glad to live in a state that has such a plan, and it's a shame if it would depend on what state you lived in if you could get health care.
germany's health care system is literally 100% death panels
then i don't understand why there's a Supreme Court case
that's not a law, it's a suggested donation
whatever, stalin
Well, it's called an individual mandate and the assumption is that if the IRS sends you a bill for $taxes + $fuckyoufornotbuyinghealthinsurance that the average citizen won't risk the chance of (non-existent) penalties and will assume they have to pay it.
But yeah, it's really not much of a mandate since if you refuse to pay it, the government's recourse at this point is to go "Oh come on, pretty please?"
if what you're saying is true i would literally throw this case out of court for a lack of case or controversy
Provided it's in the realm of a 3 toed sloth's ability.
and lo, we have the entire nation looking on as SCOTUS tries to figure out whether a new law which has a functionally identical economic impact as dozens of tax credits that have gone before it represents a fundamental departure from past jurisprudence on the grounds that it is "styled" differently

welcome to literally 250 years of jurisprudence related to constitutionality
look i'm all in favor of the thing because it's functionally the same as a tax
i was under the impression that if it's a tax then there is a problem with how the bill originated concerning tax enactments
if not, then it shouldn't matter
if there was a problem, then they can just go back and enact it as a regular tax/credit scheme
sometimes, the form is the function, and Congress shouldn't be able to take shortcuts just because it's like comparable to other things
my favorite thing about that excerpt up there is that I immediately transposed that guy's name to Fat Pagan

sometimes I think it's got to be an entirely new thing that grew up because of an internet subculture
