the scotus might throw out the individual mandate and let the rest stand
that would put all the uninsured under obamacare and the funding be damned
The idea that once this is implemented that there is no going back because it is an entitlement is bull. If it is illegal then it is stopped and swept away. Are some going to be hurt? Possibly. The Constitution did not prohibit slavery so it was a right of plantation owners to own slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation and the subsequent Constitutional amendments took all of their “entitlement” to slaves away. If der Fuehrer signed a bill tomorrow that muslims are entitled to invoke sharia law and perform honor killings would it mean that it could not be swept away because it is unconstitutional and illegal. Illegal and unconstitutional have meaning. We as a country could do away with SS, medicare or any other entitlement. This is all about politicians not wanting to piss off some constituency that they or someone else has lied to.
