#1 If the Republicans didn't want to make Obamacare payments, they should have repealed it when they had the bloody chance. Refusing to make payments mandated by law is not okay, and I'm glad the Supreme Court saw that. The fact that it is a bailout for insurance companies is not the Court's problem, it is Congress' problem.

#3 We have John McCain to thank for this one. He had the stake in his hand that could have been driven through the heart of the ACA and he dropped it.

#5 All big government programs exist to send taxpayer's money to the establishment.

It's why progressive billionaires support progressive causes, it's THEIR welfare state!

#6 I don't disagree with anything stated above. McCain was a lifelong blight on this country, and the corporate welfare state is appallingly powerful and well-connected. But this BS is unfortunately Congress' mess to fix, for the most part.
