YOU GET A PRIZE IF YOU CAN FIND Accountable Care Organizations in this diagram.

Here it is----your new Obamacare healthcare system. O/Care adds over 100 new boards, commissions and programs. For example a new Medicare Commission, exempt from judicial review, will unilaterally write rules about utilization and pricing of medical devices and drugs often needed by surgeons. Many regulatory bodies will be overarching in their abilities to select and direct medical subjects concerning Tri-Care, employer group policies, Veteran’s Administration, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.

Diligent govt personnel could not fit all of O'Care's new law’s boards, commissions, mandates, and other elements on this chart. So they created “bundles of bureaucracy.”

Seven collective symbols respectively represent clusters of four loan repayment and forgiveness programs, four other new regulatory programs, 17 insurance mandates, 19 special-interest provisions, 22 other new bureaucracies, 26 other new demonstration and pilot programs, and 59 other new grant programs.....

NOTE These 151 additions do not appear individually on the Ocare diagram. If included, the diagram would be three times larger.

Seems to me that Obamacare is working perfectly. It will assure the collapse of the insurance industry and add to the push for a total single payer system.

I'm thinking a 5 to 4 decision. I'd like to think Obamacare goes too far for even the likes of Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan, but it wouldn't surprise me to see them say government can force citizens to participate in commerce. Didn't Kagan evade a question about whether government could force someone to eat healthy during her nomination? I'm for impeaching any of them that uphold the individual mandate. There has to be some sort of punishment for justices that make such egregious rulings, but I doubt more than even a few Republicans would be willing to do it.

"Justice" Kagan committed perjury during her confirmation hearing. Period. Dot.

Citing Evidence They Call 'Contradictory' to Kagan's Confirmation Testimony, 49 Lawmakers Call for Judiciary Committee Investigation

Furthermore, she helped write Obamacare itself. There is absolutely no way she should be allowed to sit in judgment on this decision.

Hey, I have an idea!

Let's call up Sarah and Michele and Gov. Rick, and we'll convene an "End-of-Life Counseling" of our own for Obozocare!

And bill Obozo, of course.

But, whether or not any justice will ever admit it, some on the court may be hesitant to invalidate the new law because of the significant strain it would place on an already divided Congress.

The only thing the Justices have authority to consider in their rulings is the US Constitution.
