I, for one, am getting a big laugh at the GOP calling this "the biggest tax on the middle class in history".

Originally, the Act was going to fine people who didn't buy insurance. Now, instead, they're going to tax people who don't buy it. The tax you pay will be the same as the fine you would have paid if it hadn't been interpreted as a tax.

So what difference does it make whether it's a tax or a fine? The end result would be the same. You'd have to be a big idiot to believe that the system had actually changed by this new interpretation of it.
