The Republicans are facing a 16 million person problem.
With the Obama administration announcing this month that some 16 million people have obtained health insurance since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the Republicans' intense focus on completely repealing the law is increasingly looking unrealistic.

There is no doubt that tort reform lowers malpractice insurance premiums. But I asked for evidence that it resulted in lower medical insurance premiums, and your article did not mention that happening and I've never been able to find any studies that showed that tort reform did in any state it was enacted.
In a competitive marketplace, lowered costs results in lower prices.
Or higher profits. And that seems to be the case where lower malpractice premiums are concerned.
I'm trying to figure out if you're being funny, sarcastic, rhetorical or serious here. Leftists NEVER support tax cuts. They believe the Government can spend your money better than you can.
Indeed!
“For the same reason the US Supreme Court refused to repeal Social Security, “once the benefits started flowing.””
Was SS ever ruled on by the Supremes?
“This would in effect leave the future of the ACA to the next president.
If the Supreme Court strikes down the subsidies as unconstitutional then how can Congress pass a law extending those unconstitutional subsidies for another 18 months?”
All the more reason we need Cruz.
Yeah, seems like the twilight zone to extend something that is unconstitutional! Obviously laws and the Constitution don’t matter much to either party.
“When the dollar and the economy crash in the very near future...it will all be a moot point...”
I’m ready, see my tagline.
I wish everyone would do the same. It will be ugly and there will be no more business as usual.
Yes, and I explained what the results were.
“I don’t think the King decision will turn on constitutional grounds. Looks like statutory interpretation to me.”
oh, so congress just needs to pass a law with the correct average then (including ‘state OR federal exchange’)
You’ve described perfectly the inequities if communism, even if we never outright voted for it.

Thanks; the RE-election of Obama was a vote for communism by those casting ballots. In 2008 voters could claim ignorance/media deception; unfortunately the same wasn’t the case in 2012. Obama himself didn’t start some of these programs, but he added more and made clear his intentions very quickly after the 2008 election.
Many of us here (myself included) don’t want to accept how many of our countrymen (not just the unassimilated minorities) feel entitled to our hard-earned wages.
“...but he added more and made clear his intentions very quickly after the 2008 election.”
When were his comments on sharing the wealth to Joe the Plumber? It was before one of the elections, I think 2008. We had his number from the very beginning, and he never even tried to hide it. That 47%+ just want what we have - but don’t consider that they are dragging all of us down together.
We knew what he was in 2008, but the media covered for him; by 2012, he was openly communist and an obvious failure.
