I certainly hope the judges rule to get rid of this monstrosity. All they have to do is let the lower court ruling stand, which already ruled against Obamacare.

[momincombatboots]

Were the law makers who passed it originally exempt? Yes. Case closed.

[rktman]

Yup. Everybody’s gonna die.

> millions of people who gained health insurance

Millions of illegals got health insurance. Americans get to pay for it.

[1Old Pro]

a case with enormous stakes not only for millions of people who gained health insurance through the law

"Gained" or Required? It's time to allow open competition with a minimal of "protective" regulations, same for public schools.

Without the mandate, it’s dead, Jim...

No severablity. But even if this case fails (which i doubt), the exchanges cannot work without subsidies.

Millions were forced off their affordable and helpful plans, where the prices skyrocketed and they lost their doctors.

You never know what sort of pretzel John Roberts will contort himself into this time.

Then it goes to the Supreme Court and the decision should come out in June of 2020. Just in time for the election.

[Gay State Conservative]

I thought that the “mandatory” part of it was repealed a year or so ago.If true it seems that that would make the whole thing worthless anyway.

“Then it goes to the Supreme Court “

Ant there sits that traitor Roberts poised with the knife again.

i.e. the beast will be starved, or put down.:)

But financially it cannot stand and there is no mechanism to fund it without the mandate.

It must fall of its own weight.

“...You never know what sort of pretzel John Roberts will contort himself into this time....”

There are various “theories” about why Roberts backs this travesty upon America. My take is that he does not want his name on any action that would squash the action of the first BLACK president -— regardless of HOW BAD it is/was. Roberts has hurt REAL Americans enough.

Hello USA.

Muslims are except from ACA. The religion of pieces is above the dhimmitude; above USAians. Special.

We-The-People have been sold into dhimmitude by DC.

That doesn't seem to stop any other government program.

..it ruined everything for average people who weren’t in a group plan—but that’s how they planned it...

[momincombatboots]

Sources for this exemption? I think sharia compliant loans are here.. but Insury is in My Bible too.

Well, it is either that or pay for their ER treatment when the show up there as they do in droves for everything from a gunshot wound to a sniffle.

That's what the globalists will tell you as if cutting off their bennies and putting them on a bus home isn't an option.
