Anti-gay Republican tries to woos gays on health care by invoking same-sex marriage

This is laughable: Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC): “The Supreme Court’s precedent in this case will far exceed health care. In short, government is now able to make you do anything by penalizing you with a tax. If future governments don’t like marriage it will be able to tax you if you want to get married.
