Sheez, I messed that post up. LOL, just noticed. I meant “into office back in 2008”. I need sleep.

Actually, no one will lose coverage - they’ll just end up paying the full cost without taxpayer money being redistributed to them.....

And/or hefty penalties the following tax year if they cannot afford the "new" improved premiums.

The floggings will continue until morale improves.

"Obamacare" had one true purpose, and that was to instigate a nationwide call for "Single Payer Healthcare", which is actually worse than what we are dealing with now over the long run as the Government will have total and unencumbered control over any and all aspects of Health Care in this country.

The powers that be cannot disclose their true goal and while the path to the end game is painful to most involved, the true end game will result in truly despicable and deplorable conditions concerning "health care" that will be unbelievably "destitute" (as far as health care is concerned), for the overwhelming majority of Americans and our country will not recover from such devastation for several generations from this atrocity, IMO.

Low Information Voters giving the power to those who are bound and determined to destroy basic prosperity's in this country are just as culpable as the low life "politicians" who pander to those who vote for yet more "freebies".

More and more, I am convinced that another Civil War must take place in this country in order to set things right for the long run if this country is going to survive such absurdities.

I blame low life harpies like you who have no other agenda other than to heap scorn upon those who do not subscribe to your personal beliefs and wishes.

You are no better than any scum bag lefty, IMO.

Federal Government may have given illegal subsidies to millions in Supreme Court health law case

Screw you.

Me, too.

The Obama administration argues that Congress clearly intended to help everyone who qualifies for it.

The bill was over 2,000 pages thick. Are you telling me that in a 2,000 page long document they couldn't take a paragraph or two to "clearly intend..." something as straight forward as the difference between State exchanges and Federal exchanges which should have been included in the 2,000 page bill if Congress wanted it. If it's not there Congress clearly intended to distinguish between the two types of exchanges. Eat it Soetoro.

By the way, the Constitution "clearly intended" that a person holding the office of president should have a valid birth certificate and be born in the United States and apply for a Social Security card in a state where they lived for the amount of time it takes to fill out the form.

Go Eff yourself.

“If the SCOTUS rules that only state exchanges can qualify for subsidies, then each state will either set up a subsidy, pronto, or have tens of thousands of angry people beating the statehouse doors down because without it they can’t afford the insurance. It doesn’t automatically mean Obamacare is dead, and puts the issue in the state’s lap.”

The problem BB with your “solution” is that the states don’t have the money to front the subsidies, and the ratio of gibbsmedats to taxpayers in states w/o State Exchanges makes your argument less plausible. Because the vast majority of the taxpaying voters of those states will tell their leaders: “Tell those freeloaders it’s tough $hit,” which will handily trump those who “yell they are being screwed.” Very nearly all the state exchanges are in blue states where the subsidies are not an issue (until FUBOCare goes under).

I told you first. Hope you enjoy it.

Why are your britches bunched up?
You should chill out.

[vette6387]

“Screw you.”

Why would you use such language here? The guy’s first three sentences made sense. Are you leaked off because he sees civil war as a needed outcome?

[Norseman]

I think you’re going to be proven wrong on that because my understanding is that by not setting up an exchange a state will automatically exempt all of its citizens who have employer-paid plans from being subject to the employer mandate. This will enable them to keep their current plans because their employers will not be under pressure to drop their plans. That group is a hell of a lot bigger than the group that will lose subsidies, subsidies that they weren’t entitled to in the first place.

Furthermore, most of those states are GOP-run and some provisions will likely be made to fold Obamacare recipients into other state-run plans.

Ahh, nothing I love more than someone telling me what I should do, how I should think, and what I should believe.

All Hail Group Think!
