| #9 Agreed P2K about SCOTUS role. After their convoluted logic re the penalty actually being a tax, I don't have much faith in them interpreting O-care according to the Constitution. And somehow, it strikes me that forced consumption of something you don't want to buy seems unconstitutional and very un-American. This leftist law had been soundly rejected before before Obama fell off the turnip truck. |

| #8 The courts only legitimate decision here is whether the Act is Constitutional and, if so, is it being implemented in accordance with the law itself. Bad legislation is to be fixed in Congress not the court by 'interpretation'. |

| #7 As designed. It only had to last until the insurance industry was fatally damaged so that they could introduce single payer to save us all. (Except, of course congress and the ruling elite) |

| #6 Thanks Raj, I think you really cleared it up, and you are right, I totally agree. |

| #5 Sorry, mate - this was entirely predictable, and was predicted, by a number of us on this board who actually knew how this shit added up (or didn't), and the current 'leadership' of the alleged 'opposition party' are acting like a bunch of 'bendo boys' far more interested in 'going along to get along' and furthering their careers than actually fixing massive structural fiscal problems. Fuck each and every last one of them. |

| #4 Raj, dear commentator, I don't think you put enough emotion into your comment. Could you try again, this time really emote, don't leave the reader with any doubt. |

| #3 "May have already begun"? How fucking stoopid is this assclown? As healthcare costs have already become more unaffordable through massive increases in premiums, deductibles and co-pays, more and more people are and will continue to drop insurance, resulting in increased costs for everyone else. The whirlpool sucks everyone else in. Fucking DUH! This is exactly how Obamacare was designed, you dumb fucking assholes, so as to kill the insurance companies (at least until the Fed. subsidies run out) and force us to accept single payer, the ultimate wet dream of socialists like Bernie Sanders and that fucking crowd, as the douchebags currently in charge of Congress (Boehner & McConnell) continue to act like butt boys and fold like cheap tents, even though they ran their 2014 campaigns stating otherwise. What a fucking disgrace... |
