Obamacare at the Supreme Court: Day One

Views:979
@ReasonVids

Reason's Damon Root got a coveted seat for the Supreme Court oral arguments on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Day one of this epic judicial showdown focused primarily on whether or not the individual mandate constitutes a tax. If the justices rule that the penalties associated with the mandate should be considered a tax, the challengers to ACA would have to wait until 2015, when the law goes into effect to challenge it.

The main event of these proceedings, the arguments over whether or not the individual mandate is constitutional, will take place tomorrow.

For more of Root's coverage of the Obamacare-SCOTUS hearings, go to: http://reason.com/blog/2012/03/26/obamacare-on-trial-day-one-a-case-of-ina

Produced by Anthony L. Fisher, shot by Josh Swain and Fisher.

About 1.40 minutes.
