“The only way to change this law is to come up with a new one that works...”
Yes, and any law revoking SCOTUS-Care must also castrate the power drug companies and the FDA have over the practice of healthcare. Cut this umbilical feeding the high cost of healthcare and healthcare immediately becomes affordable. And almost immediately cures will be found for a multitude of ‘incurable’ diseases/disorders.
It is also way past time that laws can be passed affecting ‘all people’ except certain groups. All legislation should immediately apply to Congress, the Courts, the Executive Branch. NO EXCEPTIONS!
This includes healthcare and retirement benefits (think Medicare, think Social Security).
For hospital corporations, it was a good thing initially, because it took power away from competing private practitioners, and centralized control in the big hospitals/hospital corporations. This didn't decrease costs, and merely shifted money away from the people who actually see patients and give medical care, and gave that money to an expanding administrative bureaucracy. This is why hospital stocks surged after the SCOTUS ruling. But self-interest is often shortsighted, and the hospitals will get stung - big time. This push for centralization of health care was by design, and eventually, when centralized enough, they (the political establishment) will come after the hospitals - and it will be like shooting fish in a barrel.
For pharmaceutical companies, they cut deals with the devil, and then downsized their internal R&D. They'll be OK for awhile, but they will find it harder and harder to sustain their profit margins.
American medicine is in decline, and I am very sad about it.
