The news today is that the appeals court has rejected the manditory nature of ObamaCare. Next stop is the Supreme court.

I know this isn't directly economic news but, I think many of you are underestimating the effect ObamaCare is having on business. It is a near future obligation that is going to cost them money. How much it costs depends on what conditions the Government determines to cover and how much the payers into the system will have to pay for those who don't contribute.
On a side note it is interesting comparing the two Judges reasoning for rejecting manditory health care with the one who supported it. The Majority reasoned that the Constitution disallowed the Federal government from forcing people to buy something they might not want. The Minority reasoned that the governments powers have been expanding in this area in the last few years and therefore should be allowed. The first two see the Constitution as originalists wereas the lone Judge sees it as a living document that was evolving along with society.
