Only time will tell the ramifications of the ruling, I was pondering how this ruling could be used for good rather than evil. There's another service that everyone eventually uses that we are taxed on.....Education. We should use the same model for education. Right now everyone pays for education, but people who send their kids to private school end up paying twice. The ACA ruling seems to support the idea that people who pay for a service in the commercial market (education, medical) shouldn't be taxed by the government for that service. In other words, the ACA ruling seems to support the concept of vouchers. Could this be a way to weaken the teacher's unions?

>>> Only time will tell the ramifications of the ruling<<< Will be interesting. Many people and businesses will probably stop buying ANY insurance, at least for the first few years, for as long as the punitive charges will remain moderate. Why spend big bucks on insurance if you can buy it IF - and AFTER - you get sick? This should be quite effective at bankrupting insurance companies - which may well be the purpose of the entire scheme. Once companies will refuse to sell insurance, or demand rates which would compensate them for the losses related to the pre-existing condition clause -- politicians will ride in with outright socialization, or with the Public Option, as an intermediate step.
