I'm not in a negative frame of mind, HouCoogster. Just a balanced one. There are pros and cons to ObamaCare, and to the Free Market method of obtaining health insurance coverage.
I write sick people with a smile now. I write healthy people in an apologetic manner. "Let's hold our nose and get you enrolled". Balanced!

Indeed he was. The naivete to all of this is exactly how this was passed. Although, one can say that not one single Republican fell for the BS coming from the likes of Obama, Gruber etc.

It seems that the Supreme Court comes with Supreme Egos. They rarely can just say "yes" or "no"... especially on the really big cases.
What are the chances that they say something like, ""Yes", subsidies paid through the Federal Exchange are legal, because the law's architects could not forsee states refusing to build their own exchanges.
HOWEVER, each state has the right to turn down the ability for it's citizens to receive subsidies through Healthcare.gov, if it wants to."
What states would opt-out? Maybe the same ones that opted out of Medicaid expansion? For all we know the Supreme Court may tie the two programs together. Accept both "presents" from Uncle Sam, or reject them both.

They say that the difference between a fairy tale in the North and one in the South is that in the North it begins with "Once upon a time....." and in the South, fairy tales begin with, "Y'all ain't gonna believe this shiite..."
Well..........Regardless of whether you are in the North or the South, Y'all ain't gonna believe this shiite:

"If you had a law that made it explicit that healthy people are going to pay in and sick people are going to get subsidies, it would not have passed," he added.
Come on man Really? How slanted is that?
98% of my clients are getting subsidies and 95% of those are very healthy.
Without looking it up, the 34 or so states that opted out of building an exchange were red and blue. Medicaid expansion was mostly blue.
Those that opted out of both had their BS detector working. They knew there was not Santa Claus that was going to pay for all this forever.
They were also smart enough to see this whole exchange idea was a really dumb idea.
