It is a TAX only if you don't have Health insurance

I have no faith in the pro-Health Care people to get in front of this.  The Supreme Court has essentially said the Mandate is legal as a Tax.
.
The first comment I heard from someone across from me in a cube (a smart young lady with a college degree) was "great, another tax".
.
It isn't a new tax on people for Health Care!
.
There is ONLY a tax penalty IF you don't have Health Insurance.  She (and most everyone else at my company) have Health Insurance through work.  So the pro-Health Care message has to be that there is no penalty for currently insured people (including Medicare, Medicad, etc.).  People are only taxed if they DON'T have Health Care.

I see the spin coming a like a twister...
