...isn’t thee a “severability” issue with Obamacare....since Obama has arbitrarily changed several parts of Obamacare and added others....so the whole package should be thrown out...?

Severability was ignored by SCOTUS.

When Robert's wrote his opinion for the majority, he noted that the PPACA was "both Constitutional and Unconsitutional." Many people ignore that fact. Roberts cited specific parts of 0bamacare which were not Constitutional and were a legal nullity as a result.

Severability should have been discussed at that point and was not.
