Obamacare One Year Later

This wouldn't be the first time
Things have gone astray
Now you've thrown it all away
--Bryan Adams

Rand Paul observes that, one year after the Supreme Court ruling, Obamacare remains as unconstitutional and as opposed to natural rights as it was when 5 judges legitimized it. We have discussed many aspects of the flawed SC decision, from Chief Justice Robert's tortured opinion to institutional pressures to rule how the majority did to the ruling's lack of judicial restraint.

RP also notes the increasingly visible negative consequences of Obamacare as it approaches full implementation. These consequences were a layup to predict and will only intensify with implementation of the ACA.

As people feel the sting of these consequences, public opinion about Obamacare is turning south as well. Hopefully, this exerts enough political pressure on lawmakers to reverse one of the worst laws ever legitimized in American history.
