It was a deliberate decision by congress to give subsidies and have the employer mandate only in states that created a state Obamacare exchange.

Congress didn't write it, I don't even think they read it.

Some leftwing "think tank" probably wrote the thing.

I don't think Congress deserves any credit.

True (and Joey Chestnut can eat 141 boiled eggs, for the records).

Well, one of the most brilliant women in the country (so we’re told) stated that we’d have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it ... They did that, and now we’re finding out what WASN’T in it, so they’re just going in and adding whenever they “forgot”.

I believe his uncle Fritz Gruber might have been the brother-in-law of General Hochstetter. He might have to get pass for being related to Gertrude…

A few days later, the renowned architect of the system is shown on tape in 2012 saying the intent is exactly what is in the legislation. The left responds - 'what he says is irrelevant. He didn't write the law.

Speaking of irrelevant, The House didn't write the law either!

In fact, it has been established beyond any argument whatsoever, that not a single member of the House at the time actually read it before they passed the bill!

Reasonably, discussion and debate must occur before a law is passed.
