pubbies should be saying, "You ramed it down the taxpayers throats without our help, you figure it out."

But they won't. "Too scared." (Worm aliens in Men in Black.)

““They’re in meetings right now planning ways to revive the subsidies if the [Supreme] Court strikes them down.””

uhhh... weren’t Republicans elected to control congress to STOP Barrycare? Why, Yes, they were.

We have 1.5 parties in the US: Democrats and Republicrats

In other words, when Obamacare would be at greatest risk of crumbling, Republicans would be ensuring its survival.

And ensure its survival in such a way as to guarantee that the subsidies will cost the government even more than they do now. Good job, GOP.

And if you receive a subsidy-you most likely do not work much- if at all.

Republicans would, in effect, be providing a crucial fix to a law they’ve opposed since its inception

They've never opposed it. They have only *said* they oppose it. The GOPe loves it.

I think it's now clear that, if Republican votes could have defeated Obamacare in March 2010, enough Republicans would have voted for it so that it could pass.

The congressional Republican party, as a collective, is not opposed to PPACA. In fact, if the Democrats didn't produce it, the Republicans would have done something quite similar.

“...under Obamacare, a couple earning as much as six figures with three children is currently eligible for taxpayer assistance to buy health insurance.”

Why should Republicans be frightened? They didn’t write the statute - it is exclusively the work of the Democrats.

They’re not frightened, they’re Democrat moles - RINOS.

And IF...(big stinkin' if) the GOPe funds the subsidies, they will not ask for a concession, like build a fence on the southern border, tax cuts, no employer mandate, whatever. Idjits.

It was in 2010 that the republicans promised to repeal obamacare if they were given the majority. We were fools for voting for them in 2012 and again in 2014. It’s time we voted them out even if we have to vote democrat.

I swear I will vote democrat if my only other choice is rino. I may walk outside and puke afterward but it makes me nauseous voting for lying republicans anyway.

They can take th blame if they want to...they are sick. NOT INE REPUBLICAN created this or voted for it. They were kept outside locked doors for discussions and the Demosrats even said they didn’t know what was in it when THEY voted for it. Not a Republican problem!

“There are Republicans right now scared to death..."

She should have stopped writing right there, saved it, and lede every story with that from now on.
