The supreme irony here is that Hawaii had their own state sponsored version of ObaMaoCare on their books since the 1970s. They got by with it because it wasn't larded up with all the special mandates of the nationwide version of ObaMaoCare (such as free everything for druggies, winos and illegal aliens who'd never contributed a dime). Once nationwide ObaMaoCare rendered the state version moot, there was no way it could stay solvent on top of the benefits already in place.

Hawaii was the canary in the coal mine and the canary just died.

Exactly correct about why Hawaii threw in the towel.

My prediction s that the SC grants "gay" marriage protected under the 14th ( enhancing homosexuals already separate and unequal status under the law as a protected class ) and - they keep the Obama subsidies intact ( basically punting ) - they don't want any part of this mess.
