Why is the default position that the Repubs are supposed to clean up the crap after it hits the fan? Did I miss something?

I want the mandate struck down but not the entire law. If the Court strikes down the entire law, there will be less conservative wildfire for the GOP (up and down the ballot) in November.

Politically, the best outcome for the GOP is to strike down the mandate (and perhaps other provisions) but not the entire statute.

TROUBLE?????? HAHAHA.....that’s because this is ONLY one of the FIRST steps in kicking government out of our lives, so we can have a more economically and free country! Everything government has touched it screwed up....time for the RESET back to our Constitution!

Media pundits forget that before obamacare, fully 80% of Americans were satisfied with their healthcare. The best course before the election is to just make it back to what it was before this abortion was perpetrated on the people. After the election, some judicious and limited reforms would be good, mainly to correct distortions put in place over the years by 'rat lobbyists.

The Constitutional Scholar going by the name of Barack Obama will be shot down having tried to force unconstitutional legislation against the will of the people. Therefore the self-proclaimed 4th best president ever will be summarily voted out of office after a single term for attempting to fundamentally transform the US of A.

Then you want what the democrats want.

If left standing the Title IX tax provisions will grow and consume everyone. It is what the democrats wanted from the beginning, a massive tax on healthcare.

If 'R's are smart, which I know they ain't, they would come together around the capitalism policy.

Yep.

It’s not just not healthcare for anyone; it’s the other stuff in the bill that the one world government wants.

The assumption is that republicans must have another complex government program in readiness to replace ObamaKare.

But the real solution is to return to free enterprise and get government and government money out of healthcare to the largest degree possible.

Because the celebration would last so long we might forget to vote?

“The Hill a bunch of lefty’s having a cow.”

Precisely!

It wasn’t the Republicans who foisted this albatross around the neck of the nation! It will have zero effect on the Republicans, other than rallying the electorate to throw out even more of the bums that voted for this turd!

I hope they throw the whole thing out.

If they throw out parts of it, even if Romney follows through on his promise to repeal the law, there may be a problem with the Senate. The Republicans' chances of getting to 60 seats are probably slim, and short of that the Democrats can filibuster.

Get rid of it and remove the government from the markets. People in government can’t comprehend the idea of less government. Self preservation, expansion and control is what government is all about.

Can you comprehends a health "system" where the USSC says US Government participation in it is unconstitutional.

Personally, I think the US Government should have NO ROLE....None, None at all!!! Let individuals and market do it all. It would self-organize quickly and still be a model for the world to follow.

The only “trouble” could be that some people might fear Obama a little bit less. Wouldn’t matter to me, but it might to the “middles”.
