Remember how Democrats rushed into passing President Barack Obama 's Affordable Care Act back in 2010 while they still had the votes? Now health care for millions teeters on a typo.

They’re going to stuff this into liberal courts and it won’t matter.

I believe this is the same story and it’s free.
If it’s the issue of subsidies, it’s not a typo. The author stated it was intentionally designed that way.
It’s a lie. They are trying to deny what the law says, about exchanges I think.
The propaganda continues.
I found it elsewhere. Clarence is just starting the spin cycle, that all this is over a typo, when we know from other sources that it was the intent all along to use subsidies to entice states to set up their own exchanges. Now the left wants to undo their own handiwork through rule making rather than legislation. Nothing more complicated than that.
There has already been a split between two circuits (4th Circ. in VA and DC Circ) on this question. You might be surprised at which held which position. That split between the circuits is typically what causes SCOTUS to take a case.
It is not a typo, misspelling a word is a typo. They intentionally drafted the law as it was written. States did not fall into line as was expected. That was their error.
Much to my delight.
The typo is a talking point. Bobocare was created with an incentive for the states to create their own healthcare exchanges. To get the tax subsidies, a citizen would have to use a state exchange. It was discussed at the time and the reason they did this was the federal government cannot force the states to set up exchanges.
Few states set up their own exchanges, and the DC court of appeals just ruled that the law must be implemented as written. Now the Democrats are now saying the part they set up to coerce the states was a typo.
Page got the Rat talking points memo.
Oh this is ridiculous. Speaking is not a “typo”. He’s lying out his backside and hoping nobody challenges him further. He stated specifically the reason why it was designed that way. A single word is a malapropism... and entire argument is intentional.
These people learn their talking points and scurry off to write their columns like the little goblin scribe in The Hobbit.
Not
A
Typo.
Rather it’s a failed political calculation.
I think SCOTUS will take this case. Swing votes are of course Kennedy and Roberts...Almost impossible to predict outcome but the pessimist in me thinks one of the two will uphold the “intent” of the law.
You are correct. Democrats thought that they could force republican governors into having a state exchange by making the subsidies contingent on having an exchange.
Not so fast.
The question now is whether the judicial branch is going allow the executive branch to change the statute without having to go back through congress...
In the Daily Caller video it sounds like the Blue states that participated will continue to get the subsidies and the Red states that held out are SOL going “forward”. Obama once again shifts the car into D and drives over the Rs.
Since when does something happen in Washington by accident?
Letting the states run the exchanges was a major part of the compromise. It wasn’t just a typo.

Either Clarence Page is dumber than a box of hammers, or he is a bald faced liar. Neither option speaks very well of him. Maybe he’s the Affirmative Action House Liar for the Chicago Tribune.
clarence's brain teeters on the edge of insanity, typo my ass.
2700 pages of bureaucratic bullshit {that no one read} followed by 21,000 pages of regulations, that no one has still read, and this ain't no stinken typo.
What we have here, is a failure to communicate.
Good Bye, Luke...
