Jeffrey Young is a health care writer for the Huffington Post but you really have to wonder if he is posting his stories from Bizarro World. He is actually upset that Republicans in Congress, in the wake of the Halbig vs Burwell D.C. Circuit Court decision, won't join together with the Democrats in a giant kumbaya to "fix" the highly unpopular Obamacare law so that the language will clearly state that states using the federal exchange will be eligible for subsidies.
What is interesting is how liberals until about a week ago derided the idea that the language of the Obamacare law only allowed subsidies to go to state-based exchanges. However, this has drastically changed. Not only due to court decision but also because two of the biggest Obamacare cheerleaders who mocked the notion of Congress really intending what was clearly written in the law, Jonathan Gruber and Jonathan Cohn, were discovered to have in the past supported that very "Truther" position. So here we have Young bemoaning the fact that those "stubborn" Republicans won't save an unpopular liberal law:

Congress should not “fix” it
The idiot Dems had to vote for the law to find out what was in it.
IF dems are for it.... theres something wrong with it..
ELSE they wouldn’t be for it..
Moonbats be hatin'...kinda like pResident Moonbat himself.
sob.
This is no surprise and it is fully expected, they accept no responsibility and the admit nothing, lie about most things, and deny everything.
Democrats own Obamacare lock, stock, and barrel. There is not a single Republican fingerprint on any of its thousands of pages and Obama's arm waving and finger snapping orders.
That’s not quite accurate. Some of the blue states were just too incompetent to build their own. :)
Sorry, it’s the law of the land now. After all, isn’t that all we hear about Obamacare?
Gee, shove some unread legislation down people’s throats, lie about what it will do, bungle the implementation, constantly make unilateral changes without their consent, and then act shocked when they refuse to help you fix it.
these demtards sure loved this language when it came out b/c they thought it would force republican states to make exchanges to get federal subsidies.
somebody should FIX....the guy whose name it bears....Fix as in NUETER
Net net, the subsidies less the employer mandates in non-state exchange states would add about 700 billion to $1 Trillion dollars to the federal deficit over the next ten years. It’s not just a little fix that R’s are being picky about. The only thing that surprises me is that house leadership isn’t scrambling to cooperate in this huge new spending package.

The good news is, when you chose to make a career out of being “a health care writer” for the Huffing and Puffing Post, you have no where else to go but up!
If it gets to the SCOTUS, Roberts may rule that the Dems really meant to include the federal exchanges in the subsidies. Then we’ll know he’s being blackmailed by Obama.
Why should the Republicans fix something they did not break.
Nothing is broken.
It's what is in it that finally got read after it was passed without a single Republican voting for it.
They need to whine to Nancy.
