It would seem the tax issue is painting the law into a corner, ...
*****************************
Call me crazy, but that’s what I thought the whole purpose of John Roberts’ ruling on Obamacare was about from the get-go.
I believe he knew that by ‘naming’ the penalties as ‘taxes’ it would only be a matter of time before the whole thing blew itself to hell.
The Halbig lawsuit just blows another hole in the ACA, by highlighting how the Admin. is not following the law and further wasting taxpayers’ dollars. The big insurance companies tend to lose big time for jumping on Obama’s wagon of lies. ....I hope some of them go bankrupt!
Here’s the thing. Once it gets to the Supreme Court...you can figure it’s July of 2015, when they slug it out and note that it can’t run the way that it was written. So it’s tossed out. The House and Senate could meet and work on this....but no one really cares for an agreeable agenda. So, the end-point where max destruction occurs....is around December of 2015, when folks look at the massive increase in cost, no subsidy ability to relieve them....and a bill for 2016 monthly payments that they simply cannot pay. So, I’ll go ahead and predict that ten million Americans drop their coverage by January 2016...on top of the current group of five million.
The results of all this talk, chatter, and political mess for seven years? Nothing. Same number of Americans without coverage as it was on day one, and everyone else is paying thirty-percent more than they were on day one. Even TV media idiots will be stuck....unable to explain this in a rational way. All that work, and nothing to show for it.
