"Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them. If at all possible, we must interpret the Act in a way that is con - sistent with the former, and avoids the latter. Section 36B can fairly be read consistent with what we see as Con - gress’s plan, and that is the reading we adopt."
Note what's underlined. The intent of the law IS to destroy the insurance market, over time, on the way to single payer. Roberts should have trouble writing what he did with a straight face.
Roberts is an owned piece of property IMO. On an important decision, he will be given his orders and will carry them out. His children are a perpetual hostage to what the Administration would do to him if he does not do what is required.
