The conspiracy theory out there is that the severability clause was removed by insurance company lobbyists. That way if the mandate were struck down they would not be on the hook for the rest of the crap sandwich without the 30 million new unwilling customers.
If SCOTUS pulls an audible at the line of scrimmage and allows severability anyway there will not be enough popcorn on this continent for the result. You’ll see a billion dollars spent on a repeal campaign in thirty days. Those Harry and Louise ads will seem like Romper Room by comparison.
Simply strike out the “at age 65” part and everyone has medicare/single payer. Bzzzzzzzzz!!!!
FYI to the moochers: We’re broke! Well....as if that’s gonna stop ‘em.
