Sorry had to end the previous point due to daarkness and inability to read
keyboard outside.
There are two issue concerning taxes.
Is ObamaCare a tax or not. This was decided that it was both. If not then
ObamaCare came under the Commerce Clause and was declared unconstitutional.
If yes then it came under the ability of the federal government to tax. This was
not argued before the Supreme court and can not be argued until a court case is
filed for reclaiming the tax which can only be done after the tax is paid. The
tax can not be paid until the law take effect. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

You should probably stop reading that site, then, as that is not correct info.
From the decision:The Government advances two theories for the
proposition that Congress had constitutional authority to enact the individual
mandate. First, the Government argues that Congress had the power to enact the
mandate under the Commerce Clause. Under that theory, Congress may order
individuals to buy health insurance because the failure to do so affects
interstate
commerce, and could undercut the Affordable Care Act’s other
reforms. Second,
the Government argues that if the commerce power does not
support the
mandate, we should nonetheless uphold it as an exercise of
Congress’s power to
tax. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
