Statement from Blaise Ingoglia, Chairman of the
Hernando County Repubican Party
Today, in a 5-4 decision the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the individual mandate of the Affordable Healthcare Act is constitutional, not as a mandate under the "Commerce Clause", but as a tax. This is disappointing to say the least and even more disappointing that Chief Justice Roberts was the swing vote.

Just because a law is upheld by SCOTUS does not necessarily mean it is good for the American people.
It was a bad law yesterday. It is still a bad law today and remains unpopular as ever.
On the bright side the court ruled that the Federal government cannot coerce the states by penalizing them financially for not wanting to expand Medicaid per the Act.
This law must be repealed and replaced with some common sense, market driven solutions. The only way to accomplish this is to head to the polls this November to take back The White House and regain control of the U.S. Senate. That means going to the polls in record numbers to make Obama a "one term President" and to send Bill Nelson into retirement.
In order to save this Republic we only have one choice...to win elections. We must start now and not let up until election day.
The sleeping giant has re-awakened. Call your friends, family and neighbors. Tell them to get involved!
