If SCOTUS strikes down the mandate, but leaves the rest of the crap sandwich intact, look for the REAL fun to begin!
These same insurance executives will do a 180 and begin lobbying for repeal with every breath left in their body.
It will be SuperPAC Armageddon for Obama this fall. They are not gonna be stuck with the pre-existing conditions, the 26 year old slackers, the millions of free screenings and all the rest if 30 million paying customers at gunpoint do not come along with it.

In a sort of sick way, it’s kinda what I’m hoping for. It will more effectively expose that the emperor has no clothes. Just killing it all makes it an Obama defeat. Leaving the rest intact makes it much, much worse. That may be a good thing in the long run.
Yet UnitedHealth Care announced this week they would keep all of the coverage mandates required by the law if the law itself is struck down by the SC. There is money to be made there somewhere:

I don’t understand why people get so worked up about one’s child being “on their insurance plan”?
It is NOT free. I can get insurance through the company I work with for the wife and me for about $250 a month. Its $360 a month with my 23 yo daughter who happens to have cancer.
So what is your beef with it?
