House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) dodged a question on whether the ‘Obamacare’ individual mandate is a tax, as the Supreme Court decreed in its ruling Thursday upholding the law.

“Call it what you will, it is a step forward for American families,” she told reporters.

Pelosi said she’d like to see the language of the opinion before commenting further.

“The politics be damned, this is about what we came to do,” she said. “We’re very excited about this day. It’s historic.”
