Place Your Bets! - Virginia Court Case

[djs]

Outcome of this ruling (although it was hardly unexpected) = 2015 single payor rolls out.

This is all on plan.

I think that is why they are testing the indiv mandate first. If this fails to meet the test you can bet the next string of court cases will be insurers being forced to take any applicant.

DING DING DING!

We have a winner.

But even if this isn't correct, anyone who thinks commissions are going to go back up are delusional. The health insurance game for agents is over. The fat lady has sung (or sang, not sure which). There is no turning back...

Whatever happens is immaterial to a career in health insurance. Except for the bigtime heavy-hitters, it's done. And even for them, the days are numbered.

EHTH stock down, UNH, AET, HUM stocks r up. I agree, this sets the table for a public option

Administration officials concede that the lack of a mandate would cut the number of uninsured people who would get coverage in half and threaten the ban on denying coverage people with pre-existing conditions – one of the president's signature selling points on the law. Other parts of the law, such as the insurance exchanges and Medicaid expansion, could arguably move forward unaffected.

"Public option..."
Hello, what is this; groundhog day?
We've been there, done that.

Separate but equal was also Constitutional until the Supreme Court decided otherwise.

You mean the equal rights amendment? Note the last word in that sentence.

There is no Equal Rights Amendment, but I assume you mean the 14th?

14th Amendment, adopted July 9, 1868.

Plessy vs. Ferguson, decision handed down May 18, 1896.

Brown vs. Board of Education, decision handed down May 17, 1954.

Separate but equal enjoyed a fairly long life until the Supreme Court decided otherwise and overturned a previous ruling.

Let's not forget Marbury vs. Madison, where the Supreme Court basically decided it had power, and Congress and the President went along with it.

I can't even read this without "LOL."
The very notion that such a thing could be enforced is farcical.

And of course let us not forget Buck v. Bell wherein the court upheld involuntary sterilizations stating "three generations of imbeciles is enough." Ahhhhh, the good old days. That would have em shaking in congress.
