Supreme Court ruling on healthcare law could bring trouble for Republicans

No replacement needed. I say the American people bask in the glow of the victory over Commiecare™ for, say, the next 200 years.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It was Ubama who wanted to “fundamentally transform” the health care system that people flock to from around the world.

[Tzimisce]

Oh God here we go - the moderates want to set the agenda.

Unfortunately everyone’s going to listen to them. :(

The Hill a bunch of lefty’s having a cow.

[Tublecane]

We’re back to the chorus. Republicans were in power for blah years and didn’t do antything about it. The old Do Something motive. Well, you know what? People didn’t elect Obama to cure the healthcare “crisis.” People will not vote all the bastards out who don’t find alternative ways to give them free healthcare. For one thing they’re too busy lobbying for other freebies.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the healthcare system and has been for 70 years, but it’s not a crisis. We should fix it but don’t have to because there’s far more to fear from fixing it wrongly, as we did with Obamacare. There are also more important things to do.

???...what's this; "the (liberal) hill" giving "advise" to the GOP!
"foxes/weasels "advising" the chickens"...

[DarthVader]

No it won’t Sam. Stop guzzling the Thunderbird!

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Libloather.

So far, the party has not come together around a set of policies to replace the healthcare law...

...which is solid evidence for the idea that the op-ed author is a simpleminded touchhole.

If only the mandate is struck down, then it’s worse because of the Title IX taxes.

The role of the federal government was to defend the borders and deliver the mail.

The private sector can do all of that better now. I do not know what the federal government's role is today except to trample us into submission to whatever politically-correct movement is the cause of the day, steal our money and livelihoods and incarcerate us if we get in the way.

[C210N]

has not come together around a set of policies to replace the healthcare law if it’s struck down entirely...

If 'R's are smart, which I know they ain't, they would come together around the capitalism policy. The only policy that adheres to the Constitution. It's been a LONG time since this policy was used, so it is going to be a difficult slog for the 'R's to rally with. But, if they could, it would be a Winner.

The spin in this article really is amazing.

[KC Burke]

I call “sheenanigans”

Oh please; "trouble"?

Given the troubled alternative for our nation; can only say 'bring it on'!

Something, Repubs have been saying, since Obama told us all; to shut up; and open our mouths - and swallow. . .

[Bronzy]

I find our healthcare very good. It is the purchasing of health insurance I find flawed. I have been without a job supplied healthcare since 1999 and have saved by being healthy. I wish I could have purchased a catastrophic plan with no perks.

[Third Person]

Get rid of it and remove the government from the markets.

People in government can’t comprehend the idea of less government. Self preservation, expansion and control is what government is all about.

[rawhide]

So bring on the troubles striking this monstrosity down. It is a lot less troubles than what the healthcare bill would bring if not struck down.

Trouble? No. Victory? Yes.
