Answering questions from reporters today, Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi previewed her party's likely legislative response should the Supreme Court strike down ObamaCare's health coverage requirement, suggesting that Democrats will look for a functional alternative to the mandate — a way to mandate insurance coverage without running afoul of the Constitution:
You have to eat your vegetables — you have to have the mandate in order for this to work from a financial standpoint…If Americans like the idea that they and their children cannot be deprived for a lifetime of health care insurance because of a pre-existing health care condition, then that will require some other action if that is to happen. And what would that be? There could be something passed in the Congress, similar to what we had originally in the House bill, which was a surcharge on the wealthy to pay for aspects of that … States can take their own actions.

Bat guano has value as fertilizer; the filthy bitch has no redeeming value, social or otherwise.
FUBO & FAD

“...a functional alternative to the mandate...”

Such as? Sorry, Nancy....there is none (unless you’re considering some sort of Coup d’état....and that won’t work either).
Has anyone told Nana yet the Dems don’t control the House anymore?
She needs to stop drinking and taking pills all the time when she is trying to make sense while talking nonsense..

You’re exactly right.
FUBO!!!
“health care insurance because of a pre-existing health care condition,”
Insurance is, by definition, a gamble. You are betting Your money to an Insurance Provider that you will need Their money because you will get sick or hurt. The provider is betting Their money against Your money that you will not.
Pre Existing conditions take the element of chance out of the equation.
It is then no longer a gamble/insurance, but a dead certainty to bankrupt the Insurance Provider, which is the intent of pre-existing condition coverage.
Drive Insurance Providers OUT of business so that Government can take over/monopolize the market.
We have to eat our vegetables??
Could this crazy b%tich be any more condecending if she tried?
Aww you guys have already said everything I was going to post.
Just allow competition across state lines and insurance prices will go down.
Just the way the market works.
The LAST thing “Obamacare” is about is health.
It is a legislative vehicle for authoritarian, big-government socialist control. Read the Communist Manifesto — you will get a good understanding of its purpose and if you read the “law” you will see what they can do to you with it. It is open-ended absolute control.
Pray the swing vote in the SCOTUS understands this horrid law has no limiting factor, is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and that the Leninesque mandate is not severable. This should be enough to kill it if we still have enough non-socialist-activists left on the Court.
I want to know what it is with Dems and Veggies. Obama 1 and 2 with peas and such, this moonbat with the veg thing...
They probably have a deal between Pfzier and Montasanto ot put Thorazine in the potatoE seeds so we don’t care WHAT they do...
That's pretty rich from Pelosi, whom I doubt has ever even read the original legislation. Even fifty pages of it.
she still think she is queen.(bitch)
Everything she says is moronic and/or politically unpopular and she says it about so many topics that one has to wonder ...
Has she been told to create headlines as a distraction/cover for F&F, the economy, general WH incompetence?
