Obamacare ruled unconstitutional by federal judge

Well, specifically the individual mandate (i.e., you don't want to or can't afford to carry insurance this year? get ready for a big fine come tax time!) part. Which I agree is unconstitutional... and unjust. I know a lot of hard-working people that have been getting hit hard by this, like my best friend's mom. She's been a dental hygienist for 30 years through a service that assigns her here or there. She pays out of pocket when she needs to go to the doctor and never gets employer-provided healthcare. Last 2 years bam, both times, $2000 fine for not having health coverage. Crippling.

Just for fun I went to the ACA signup page to see what it would do for me. It would be $400 more a month for me to sign up for it vs. the $60 I pay a month right now for my already crappy job-provided insurance, getting even worse deductibles than I do now. Are you kidding me?
