Glad to see that Obamacare is not as dead in the water as I thought it was, although I was under the impression that it was a miserable compromise in the first place.

Cuukies? 
Yeah, the original plan would have been better overall, but I'll take what I can get for now.
It is. But at the same time, Its going to be HILARIOUS to see Fox news cry over this one.
Maybe they could extrapolate it and say "universal healthcare caused the EA-17 crisis! Therefore, Obamacare will cause an economic crisis 1000 times worser than 11 September! That would be... 11 000 9000!"

Funniest thing in the world: People tweet they're moving to Canada over outrage at Obamacare.

If not for my job obligations and family I would move to Canada in a heartbeat.

Oh My
My girlfriend and I are strongly considering moving to Canada...Nationalized gay marriage and socialized healthcare? Also it's cold or colder? And Thai people apparently live there too?
WHY AM I NOT THERE.
...though it would mean no ocean and surfing.
My love...

I find it humourous how they find America socialist. They would have a heart-attack if they visited Britain or Germany. And then they would have a brain aneurysm if they visited France or Scandinavia.

30 degrees? Wasn't Canada supposed to be cold? Yeah, I guess you actually mean Fahrenheit.

That's really a classic case of making a statement without stopping to think about its meaning.
'I'm upset about America turning socialist... so I'm going to move to an even MORE socialist country!'
Oh... kay?
To be philosophically consistent, they'd have to threaten to move to a nice free market country, but those are all struggling at best, so they can't exactly say they WANT to be there.
Furthermore, I think Guantanamo must be destroyed.

@Breadloaf: "yeah, one thing about cancer survival rates in USA is that those metrics measure "those who are treated", which is very bullshit stat to compare to universal healthcare systems."
Nice to see that you have come over to the "effective metric" side. Not so long ago you were arguing that all metrics were inherently evil.
Now this is me being cynical: The SC just handed the RP an election issue on a platter (i.e. "Taxes"), without themselves being responsible for striking down a popular policy.

More of a craven cop-out- like Roberts just didn't have the balls to come right out and say the act is unconstitutional, but really wants Romney to win...

They've got two years to comply. But which I mean phase into the new system. That's a lot of time for feet dragging.
