The two judges in the majority in Halbig focused on the literal terms of isolated language in the ACA and, in so doing, ignored the other provisions that conflict with that literal reading. Those judges are like the mechanic working on an engine who has a few pieces left over and just throws them away, not worrying that the engine no longer works the way it should. We should give the rest of the mechanic's team a chance to put the engine back together properly.

Very simple.

Fast-track it to the Supremes and get a definitive answer one way or the other. Which, unfortunately, is not necessarily the RIGHT answer.

It will, however, be final.

The “health care crisis” was manufactured to expand the federal government and public service union membership which, in turn, grows the Democrat constituency. The ACA actually increases the cost of health care while lowering quality and availability for most of its clients. Prior to ObamaCare more than 80 percent of U.S. consumers were satisfied with their health care plans. It is one more example of Obama’s relentless war on the middle class.

Agree with you completely. Nothing like going to a lot of trouble & expense to solve a problem that for the most part never really existed.
