I highly doubt the SCOTUS will rule against Obamacare. Roberts is too sensitive to pressure and will — once again — obediently follow Obama’s direction to re-write the text.
If Congress is doing its job, they have already drafted and have ready to file, legislation to remove Obamacare and install a program much like the past (which was the best in history) with modifications to take care of the several problems the old one had like cost, transferability and catastrophic cases - all doable. If they don’t - vote them out asap!!!
Not a headache. Virtually all of Obamacare needs to be repealed. The Rats own it because they passed it over the objections of a majority of the citizens of this country with the use of parliamentary tricks and plenty of legislative bribes. They should be reminding the public of those facts every DAY. The MESS . . . all of it . . . was created by the Democrats, not Republicans.
The Republicans had better re-position themselves as really being “for the people” instead of being part of the conspiracy with the leftist Rats AGAINST THE PEOPLE. Otherwise, when the people get a belly full of our tyrannical government, they will not be able to claim they are the good guys when the people rise up.
Throw out the provisions of Obamacare that mandate a one size fits all health insurance plan and create a national risk pool for those with preexisting conditions. Two things driving up costs are that insurance companies can only sell an expensive government insurance plan and the cost of now insuring those with expensive preexisting conditions. Also end the fan on selling health insurance across state line. This is a no brainier. Imagine the cost of auto insurance if the government mandated that all auto policies must include coverage for boats, motorcycles and RVs even though you didn’t own anything more than a car. Costs would also skyrocket if auto insurance companies were forced to insure the very worst drivers who at present they can reject.
TPP is unpopular and they have no problems shilling for that.
Obamacare is like metastatic cancer. Chemotherapy is unpleasant, but if it rids you of cancer, it is more than worth it. But the worst thing you can do with cancer is ignore it and hope it gets better. It doesn’t.
Let us hope beyond hope that the SCOTUS rules against Obamacare. If it does then there is a chance that conservatives can block this McConnell-Boehner nightmare, and let the Leviathan beast die.
The headline encapsulates EVERYTHING we need to know about the GOP Establishment and WHY they must be replaced by true conservatives.
It isn’t the GOP who might Win, it’s the Constitution that might win. “Might”...
John Boehner bought healthcare stock (or were given him) in Dec 2009 and has made millions.
He does not want obamacare to end.
