No part of ObamaCare was more hated by the average person or more illegal than the individual mandate. The mandate was one of ObamaCare's corrupt bargains. This one delivered a captive audience to insurance companies in returning for insuring those they didn't want to insure.
Obama claimed to want to help the uninsured, yet he also smeared them as "free riders" when what he was really doing was forcing healthy young people to buy useless insurance they couldn't afford as a bribe to companies for taking on his base.
Meanwhile the forced signups would be reported as proof that ObamaCare was helping the uninsured.
This was the cynical game that ObamaCare played with the mandate. The mandate was unconstitutional. And now it's dead.
It died the way that Obama and the left killed laws they didn't like. The IRS will simply display no interest in your health insurance. And that's that.
It also sends a clear signal to insurance companies that whatever happens now, it is not going to involve handing depriving the American people of their civil rights.
