WASHINGTON —
(...)
The U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether the subsidies can continue for 6.4 million people in 34 states who use the federal insurance marketplace at HealthCare.gov.
(...)
More than 4.1 million people, or nearly two out of three who could lose their subsidies in the case this year, live in just 13 Southern states – Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

If the Republicrats want to weasel out of this, just change the tax code to allow for a tax credit for the full amount of the subsidy, applicable to those who already have it.
Oh, that's right...Nobody can afford it now without the damned subsidy let alone the copays and deductibles.
Just make up the law as we go along.
Who needs a congress anyways?
The equally (or more so) valid argument is that Obama conned these people by selling them something that didn’t exist in law or that would be taken away due to his lack of leadership/attention to detail.
Hook em, Land em and Cook em.
Or as Drug Dealers always say, the first one’s free.
I like your analogy. Get them hooked on “free healthcare”.
What confuses me though, is if the “poh suthon folk” are poor enough, they would be on Medicaid and the subsidy wouldn’t apply to them anyway. Right?
Exactly. It’s just more of the same.
When Liberals cry out for Single Payer, they already have it with Medicaid. Problem is, Doctors can’t afford to take what they are paid by the Government.
Smoke and Mirrors.
Bull.
Doctors can’t afford to take what they are paid by the Government.”
In Texas psychiatrist and psychotherapy Medicaid rates for kids covered under a United Behavioral Health are much higher than if that same doc sees a kiddo whose parents have UBH coverage for which they or their employer pay. Plus the employer and individual plans have a high deductible and always a co-pay. Medicaid kids have neither. It’s the taxpayers in this case who take it in the pocketbook, not the docs.
The moment the Government got involved in Healthcare was the beginning of the end of Affordable Healthcare.

Having just moved to Tennessee, I can say that the people I’ve talked to here on some kind of handout still resent the federal government and rationalize that they are only taking it for a short time.
So here is ins exception to the liberal plan of getting people dependent on the government so they vote Democrat.
