The Plot Against The ACA and America

Looks like a cabal wants to run roughshod over our newly insured Americans.

Because we are not dying off fast enough I guess.

I'll be really surprised if the Supreme court finds those subsidies unlawful.

Because all that subsidy money is winding up in the coffers of the Insurance companies and I figure they've given Roberts and company their marching orders to let them stand.

If the SCOTUS guts the ACA, I think the GOP will ultimately be the loser. Millions will lose their insurance as Boehner tries to herd cats in the House in a futile, ugly effort to get them their insurance back. I bet the GOP establishment is actually hoping the SCOTUS will rule in favor of retaining the ACA as it will preclude the ugly, and perhaps futile, sausage-making that will follow.

Yeah, but how many times before have we all said similar things yet the GOPers continue to roll right along.

I have $100 that says the Supreme Court rules for the government position in this case.

I think you're probably right.

Is that the amount of your subsidy? :D JK

Many republicans don't want the ACA overturned any more than they want Roe v. Wade overturned. It gives the base something to rally around and remain distracted from other important governmental matters. They would miss having Obamacare to rail against.
