What would we have said, just a few years ago, had someone predicted, “Congress will pass, and Supreme Court will uphold, a law requiring practically every American man, woman and child to purchase a product -- whether he or she wants it?”
Actually, anyone who claims “hardship” -- or that the application is “in the pipeline” -- can have the deadline extended. Since this is done on the honor system, the deadlines aren’t really deadlines.
Now none of this truly matters to Obamacare’s health-care-is-a-right proponents. Only a few months ago, Harry Reid admitted that Obamacare is “absolutely” just a step toward a single-payer system.

Former DNC Chair Howard Dean, also a proponent of single payer, said taxes will have to go up -- on everybody -- to pay for it and for deficit reduction: “The only problem is -- and this is initially going to seem like heresy from a progressive -- the truth is everybody needs to pay more taxes, not just the rich. That’s a good start. But we're not going to get out of this deficit problem unless we raise taxes across the board, to go back to what Bill Clinton had and his taxes. And if we don't do that, the problem is the pressure is going to be on spending even more.”

Obama-supporting leftwing professor Jonathan Turley warns that Obama’s actions violate separation of powers, placing the country at a “constitutional tipping point.”
