Even supporters of Obamacare are privately admitting that Paul Clement is doing an effective job. Remember that name. If Obama is defeated for reelection, Clement may be headed for the Supreme Court again, this time as a member.

5. Lose money by failing to implement cost controls
6. Make it up in volume (add 25 million to the free HC dole)
