WASHINGTON Shortly after the U.S. Supreme Courts historic health care
decision, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney appeared before the cameras to
offer their spin. Neither took questions.
.
For weeks, both men had methodically calibrated their response to what was
the most eagerly anticipated pre-election high court decision ever. The
ruling settles the law, not the politics.
.
The outcome poses challenges for both presidential contenders. Mr. Obamas
claim that it means the country cant refight the law is a pipe dream. Mr.
Romney will be held accountable for his strong inconsistencies on health
care and his refusal to offer serious alternatives.
.
The 5-to-4 decision upholding the central tenet of Obamacare, as
Republicans call it, was a better result for the Democrats. If things had
gone the other way, Mr. Romney could have credibly charged that Mr. Obama
wasted two years on an unconstitutional measure, instead of focusing on
the economy.
.
Yet Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., while handing the White House an
overall victory, created new problems for Mr. Obamas re-election,
declaring the laws requirement that most Americans obtain health insurance
or face a penalty was akin to a tax. That undercuts the presidents vow not
to raise taxes on working-class Americans.

In response, the president will argue that the law is a tax cut, as it
would provide tax credits as an incentive to purchase health care. Taxes
are not comfortable debating terrain for Mr. Obama.
.
In the two years since the passage of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, the legislations official name, the White House has
done a miserable job of explaining it and enlisting public support.
.

.
Still, the presumptive Republican nominee faces tough questions, too. He
and most congressional Republicans have vowed to repeal and replace the
health care law.
.
Mr. Romney says he will do away with it on his first day in office; Jan.
20 could be busy for him, as he also has vowed to repeal the financial
regulatory law and to declare China a currency manipulator on that day.
