Chief Justice Roberts
Chief Justice Roberts saves the day
Angers the Right that he voted this way
The individual mandate won’t get the axe
The Court just affirmed that the key is the tax
Don’t want to comply? Well here are the facts:
Don’t buy the insurance, just pay the tax
So — sick people, kids, the poor and the wealthy
Can now pay through the nose
To profiteers to be healthy.
