That's the only way the Supremes found that it could be constitutional, by ruling that:
the mandate isn't a mandate
it's not a tax
it's a tax

Even if it is a tax, who gives a shit? You pay taxes for police protection. You pay taxes for fire protection. Now you pay a tax to ensure you get health protection.

That must have been hard, if the best they could come up with is "it's not a tax but it's a tax".

Apparently not that hard.
