If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.

—— P.J. O’Rourke

       The Federal court for the eastern district of the commonwealth of virginia decides  commonwealth of virginia ex rel. Cuccinelli v. Sebelius: judge Henry E. Hudson declares the individual mandate provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. “Obamacare” (a.k.a. “Romneycare”)) to be unlawful.  “While this case raises a host of complex constitutional issues, all seem to distill to the single questions of whether Congress has the power to regulate–and tax–a citizen’s decision not to participate in interstate commerce.”
