Employer health mandate upheld

Scotus Blog reports:

Giving the Obama administration a major new legal victory for the often-besieged federal health care law, the Fourth Circuit Court ruled on Thursday that Congress had clear authority to impose the requirement that larger employers provide adequate health insurance for their workers or pay a financial penalty to the government. This was the first major ruling on the employer mandate’s constitutionality since the Supreme Court last year upheld a different mandate in the 2010 law, requiring individuals to obtain health coverage or pay a penalty.

The rubber stamp of tyranny.
