What does “Healthcare Servability” mean? Do you mean *severability* of the individual mandate from Obamacare?

And are you predicting that there would be 5 votes against severability, meaning that there would be 5 votes to strike down Obamacare as a whole? If so, I agree with your prediction (and hope that both of us are correct).

Thank you for pointing that out. I wonder if the original poster, Perdogg, might ask an admin to correct it in the first post. I notice a number of replies to the original post copy and continue with the misspelling.

What bothers me most about that is the perception that some folks may not understand what it is they're making predictions about.

The root of the word severability is sever. If the Supremes rule that the individual mandate is unconstitutional, the question before them is: can the mandate contained in the so-called affordable care act be severed from the legislation and allow the remainder of the act to stand?
