Because Obama and democrats always show their appreciation when republicans help further the liberal agenda.

As long as the mandate is dropped immediately and any subsidies phased out, that’s fine.
What cowardace
House conservatives?
We were duped into electing Republican majorities in both houses of congress and they stabbed us all in the back.
Time to get out the pitchforks.
No, not exactly. The many requirements that ObamaCare places on coverage by the insurance companies means rates will be way high and growing higher every year.
Drop the mandates without dropping those requirements, and the rates go astronomically high for those who are still insured. Both have to be dropped at the same time.
You ask: How do I know ?
Simple, if the court was going to gut the subsidies, the left would be in FULL ATTACK mode trying to influence the Justices decision...
Not hardly a peep from the deranged left on this...
They aren't worried...
Political Maxim: watch what they do, not what they say..
I have laid out my case for a temporary extension of subsidies on other threads. A constant theme seems to be those taking subsidies are the same ones living off the government and refuse to work to pay their own way through life. Welfare kings and queens.
What I have is not insurance. Except for meds, I have to spend $6000 every year before benefits kick in. Still, it is an umbrella should something catastrophic happen.
Like many on the right, I use a subsidy because I have to. I want SCOTUS to rule against the subsidies. I want to hear the GOP will extend subsidies, not might. The market will not correct itself over night.
One Congressman suggested until September 2017. I think it is reasonable considering the debates, votes and political bloodshed on the Hill before a final bill is signed into law.
But what do I know? I'm just a Freeper living off of everyone elves hard work because I deserve your money. (Do I really need a sarcasm tag on that one?)
Don’t do it!!
There is no easy way out of this and there will be pain. The longer the wait the more pain.
Karl Denninger spells out what must occur in his blog, market ticker. Everything else is simply window dressing and extends/intensifies the pain.
Do NOT extend the subsidies...let them die when the Court says they should die absent new legislation.
REPUBLICANS, DON’T BE COWARDS & HYPOCRITS. And don’t yet again show yourselves to be the junior partners to the ‘Rats in the ruling elite.
This is OK. Get the mandate out, kill the exchanges and allow the subsidies to phase out rather than be jerked away.
The cure should not kill the patient.
You are right. The fix is already in. Roberts has facilitated Obamacare and is not about to reverse himself now. He will devise some more twisted legal logic to justify it. The USSC is a joke.
Story of the last 20 years in a single sentence.
REPUBLICANS, DON’T BE COWARDS & HYPOCRITS.

A leopard can’t change its spots. The backstabbing Republicans are what they are unfortunately.
“The SCOTUS will rule in favor of the administration...”
I agree. The implications of this ruling will extend well beyond heath care. It will permanently enshrine the Executive and Judicial branches as superior to the people’s legislative branch. The concept of co-equal branches of government will be dead.
Obamacare has been implemented selectively by the President since it was passed. Implementation of certain segments were delayed by the President for political purposes, some provisions were dropped by executive order essentially rewriting the bill, some provisions were changed and modified through the regulatory process. If SCOTUS approves rewriting of a bill by the President, actually changing the language of the bill, then Congress is no longer needed. Going forward the POTUS will simply rewrite existing laws to achieve his/her goals, ruling by executive order and through regulations issued by agencies.
Even the taxation power of Congress will go away. Already DOJ, the IRS, and other law enforcement agencies regularly shake down companies, demanding fines and payments in exchange for relief from prosecution or arbitrary bureaucratic regulation. Individuals have property seized and sold before being convicted of crimes. The fines, fees, and proceeds from sale of property do not go to the Treasury, they are distributed to political groups supporting the administration’s agenda. With the Supreme Court allowing the President to disregard the wording of legislation, and make it say what he wants it to say, how soon will it be before he simply changes existing tax legislation to implement new taxes and change tax rates? As long as a court rubber-stamps the decree, how can Congress stop him short of impeachment?
The current leadership of Congress has failed miserably at exercising its Constitutionally mandated role. Tyranny marches in the absence of resistance. Look forward to rule by Presidential decree rubber-stamped by a compliant appointed judiciary. Congress going forward will be the Roman Senate of the Roman Empire. A place for old fools and egos like McCain, Boehner, McConnell, and Graham to pontificate while the Emperor rules unimpeded by the representatives of the people.
Democrats are solely responsible for this mess. They passed FORCED Obamacare down America's throats without a single Republican voting in favor of it.
America knows who's responsible for this mess so I'm confused as to WHY the stupid Republican Party Leadership feels the need to lessen the impact of what the DEMOCRAT PARTY foisted upon America.
Stupid Bastards! Grow a spine and tell those whining in America the truth: THIS IS THE DEMOCRATS F*** Up!
No, you don't need a sarcasm tag - but since you opened yourself up for criticism I'll tell you this:
I'm partially disabled, yet I don't collect disability, Social Security, or receive ANY type of Government assistance, period.
I get my ass out of bed every day and I go to WORK to earn a living so that *I* and *I* alone take care of my family, my bills, my medication, my home, our food and every single penny it takes to raise my family. I am the sole breadwinner in my family.
I don't go around apologizing for being "on the right" while simultaneously suckling at the government teat. That's hypocrisy in its highest form.
You claim to be "on the right?"
If that's true, you pay back EVERY SINGLE PENNY you've received in subsidies back to the Federal Government because you took our tax dollars.
NO ONE can claim to be "on the right" or a "Conservative" if they're taking Government assistance TAXPAYER DOLLARS to support themselves.
Do I need a sarcasm tag?
These republicans have completely thrown out all their promises while they were running for re-election. If you all remember, they ran on “GETTING RID” of OBAMA CARE thoroughly, if they were elected. That is the reason why we must rid ourselves of all these “PROGRESSIVE” republicans. At every election, they must be gotten rid of.
