Most former Supreme Court attorneys and clerks believe that the individual mandate to buy health insurance — the signature provision of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act — will soon be struck down as unconstitutional by the high court.
That's according to a joint poll by the American Action Forum, Center Forward and Purple Strategies. An astounding 57 percent of clerks and attorneys polled now think that the mandate will be ruled unconstitutional. That's up from just 35 percent in March, before the court held oral arguments on the case.

Here's what one respondent told Purple Strategies:
“I feel like a dope, because I was one of those who predicted that the Court would uphold the statute by a lopsided majority…it now appears pretty likely that this prediction was way off.”

If the Supreme Court does as this post suggests it will,then I could'nt have been more wrong.In this particular case I'm happy to be wrong.
I HOPE THEY DO. Anyone in America can get heathcare. Go to the nearest hospital ER. You will not be tutned away.The taxpayers are already paying for the underprivilaged.
Those people that think that the most important responsibility that anyone has, to take care of ones self, should be paid for by others, discust me.
If I have to pay for YOUR healh care, then I should own you!
Um, 356, it's "disgust". And I am really thankful that this law may soon be off the books. The next step will have to be to break down the tort laws and allow insurance to compete across state lines. That will lead to costs going DOWN instead of the necessary rise that this law required.
