Agree. And don’t forget the Dummies forgot to put a severability clause in the bill.

I wonder if the Democrats did that deliberately. I would think that without a severability clause, they could try to intimidate the SCOTUS into believing that the bill is "too big to fail".

I thought there was a severability clause in the bill, but if not this ruling is VERY good news.

I have been worried about what would happen if only the individual mandate was struck down, and the remainder of the bill left intact.
IMHO, this would be a worse case scenario that would accelerate the demise of private insurers, specifically due to the pre-existing prohibition of the bill.

I’m scratching my head over that one. WTF? were they thinking?
