Bombshell: Federal judge suddenly green-lights lawsuit that could stop Obamacare in its tracks
Daily Mail ^ | DAVID MARTOSKO

A federal judge on Tuesday refused to dismiss a case that could fatally cripple the Obamacare health insurance law.

The Affordable Care Act forbids the federal government from enforcing the law in any state that opted out of setting up its own health care exchange, according to a group of small businesses whose lawsuit got a key hearing Monday in federal court.

The Obama administration, according to their lawsuit, has ignored that language in the law, enforcing all of its provisions even in states where the federal government is operating the insurance marketplaces on the error-plagued Healthcare.gov website.

Thirty-six states chose not to set up their exchanges, a move that effectively froze Washington, D.C. out of the authority to pay subsidies and other pot-sweeteners to convince citizens in those states to buy medical insurance. But the IRS overstepped its authority by paying subsidies in those states anyway, say the businesses and their lawyers.

No problem. Court will rule that Obamacare should apply to all 50 states. Problem goes away.

I sense that ObamacareZilla...will fall over and fatally bang its head on the empire state building before any suits against it can be heard.

Since when has a court opinion deterred this pathetic little diktator?

Why do we have to rely on the UK press to get these stories?

LOL...so those stupid GOP governors who jumped on Obama’s broken down gravy train will have subjected their people to these penalties, while the 37 smart governors will have provided exemptions for their states. Nice going, chumps.

Thank you Governors David Jindal and Rick Perry! :-)

Perhaps that's why we haven't heard of thousands having their policies canceled in Louisiana and Texas, like those who live in Floriduh and other states have...

Supreme Court: Obama is Kaliph. There are no States, only the Obama Kaliphate.

Think I’m joking?

Chief Weasel Roberts either rules the way Obama wants, or bad things will happen to his family. It’s the Chicago way.

"...............Project developers for the health care website who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity — because they feared they would otherwise be fired — said they raised doubts among themselves whether the website could be ready in time. They complained openly to each other about what they considered tight and unrealistic deadlines. One was nearly brought to tears over the stress of finishing on time, one developer said. Website builders saw red flags for months.

A review of internal architectural diagrams obtained by the AP revealed the system's complexity. Insurance applicants have a host of personal information verified, including income and immigration status. The system connects to other federal computer networks, including ones at the Social Security Administration, IRS, Veterans Administration, Office of Personnel Management and the Peace Corps.".......... Insiders who worked on US health website describe high stress, complaints about major problems

We haven’t lost our healthcare, at least not yet. But my friend just got the letter she will be losing hers. We live in Texas.

What part of a dictatorship do you not recognize? Whatever the judge says means nothing to the idiots in DC. They will do what they want to. Osluma is now saying the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over him or his actions.
