Maybe this was Robert's plan all along to gut it and strangle it and leave it like a corpse hanging in the wind.

It never was designed to survive. Barry’s Tattooed Kiddie Invasion is going to put the final nail in the coffin of ObamaCare.

Well, it had a good run but nothing lasts forever.

Now, about Ben Carson's "Health Savings Account" idea.....

I wish I had your confidence in the “integrity” of our court system and the “cleverness” of Justice Roberts.

But I don’t.

I fully expect a split decision based on an “Intent of Congress” ruling in favor of the status quo.

I’d like to think that was the case but he could have spared the country this chaos and monumental expense had he held firm on the first decision.

The article calls it an “insurance program” then says it was designed to provide “healthcare”. When is someone going to point out that those are two different things.

Another clutching at straws article. Obamacare is here to stay. It may be fixed, but there is no way the Dems or SCOTUS will let it be killed.

“You could argue that as long as a state triggers it by asking the federal government to come in [and establish insurance exchanges] that it’s a state-established exchange, even though it’s a federally run exchange,” Tribe added. That might give some of the justices who aren’t strict constructionists some leeway in looking beyond the law’s specific language, he said.”

That is exactly what will happen, the courts will rewrite the law to save O’bastard’s failed program.

Why go the "subsidy" route? Why not just give vouchers to people below the poverty level, and let them buy insurance?

We don't subsidize food for the poor through the grocery store. We give the poor food EBT cards and let the grocery charge full price.

I don't think Roberts had a plan, he appears to have capitulated to insanity.

He's either a sop susceptible to the emotions of the cultural pressure in DC or he was blackmailed to make him change his vote on "health care".

I no longer trust the man in any case, he damaged his reputation greatly and at this point may not even know it.

Nah. Here’s the ting on that. This will be just a panel decision. The new makeup of the enbanc of the DC Cir (following filibuster reform) will ensure this fails. And I would be truly stunned of SCOTUS ruled in our favor on this one. Any SCOTUS decision on this is at least 2 years away.

In short .. don’t get your hopes up.

Pulleaze. Ubama will just whip out his pen and his phone and retroactively change things, like he always does.

Wait until all of the newly insured don’t buck up and pay the amounts owed on the operations they received.

Obamacare is already not the Obamacare As We Know It.

It changes daily.

Sometimes several times a day.

There is no Obamacare As We Know It.

There is only socialism. (But that was the goal all along)

Why Obamacare As We Know It May Not Survive

Little doubt of that.
The intention of the Marxists is to transition ObamaCare into single payer system.
Patriots, and any honest person with a minimum of a half-functioning brain and who cares about freedom, quality-of-&-access-to healthcare and its ultimate financial cost wants ObamaCare repealed 100% in its entirety.
