Ironically (for Obama), many more states would have probably set up their own exchanges had the law not changed every six weeks at the whim of President Obama’s political calculations. In other words, he might have got the ‘hammer he desired by only allowing state exchanges to get subsidies’ had he not overwhelmed even friendly states with his illegal executive orders.
The larger picture is simple: Obama does not care about running the country. He cares only about winning the political argument of the moment. He succeeds at this pretty well (unfortunately), but the price of this success is to be a failure as a leader...which will ultimately be his true legacy.
In the mean time, he’s made an absolute mess out of the actual ACA law that was passed by congress and he’s adulterated the mechanisms of government that exist to make any changes to the law in a legal manner.
Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.
Well said. And with the compliant media carrying his water, Obama gets away with this Alinskyite crap again and again.
I hope I’m wrong but I think the Supreme Court will evetuakky rule based on the intent of the law rather than the actual text of the law stating that subsidies flow through state exchanges, rather than a federal exchange.
