Let’s look at the facts: He lied repeatedly to the American public about this plan. It has been a total disaster from start to finish. He and his colleagues wrote the bill without any input from anyone with brains or integrity. Now he is telling the Supreme Court to bug out, and overlook my mistake. What a jerk!!!
**In Supreme Court Briefs, Big Business Supports Obamacare Subsidies.** Large corporate lobbying outfits, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, often file “friend of the court,” or amicus, briefs in Supreme Court cases affecting business and the economy. This time, they haven’t joined the assault on Obamacare. The reason can be inferred from the amicus briefs of more narrowly focused insurance and health-care interests that have filed to support the White House. With a significant portion of its constituency urging the justices to leave Obamacare in place, the Chamber couldn’t very well join the attack. / Among those filing amicus briefs defending health reform are HCA, the American Hospital Association, America’s Health Insurance Plans, the National Alliance of State Health Co-ops, the Catholic Health Association of the United States, the American Cancer Society, and the National Association of Community Health Centers. The insurance and medical industries share the administration’s goal of seeing millions more people covered because that translates into millions more customers seeking the services of carriers, hospitals, and doctors. / Beyond additional customers, health-care businesses argue that they also care about consumer welfare. “We will not mince words,” the American Hospital Association declares in its brief. The plaintiffs’ position, “if accepted, would be a disaster for millions of lower- and middle-income Americans. The ACA’s subsidies have made it possible for more than 9 million men, women, and children to have health coverage—some for the first time in years; some, no doubt, for the first time in their lives. That coverage allows them to go to the doctor when they are sick, and to do so without fear that the resulting bill could leave them in financial distress.” ~Paul Barrett, Insurance Journal~
Here’s your guy saying that if the states don’t set up state exchanges their citzens will not get subsidies. Really can’t get anymore black and white than this. The part of the law you are saying was “miswritten” was written intentionally that way to coerce states to set up state exchanges. But you and your people go out regularly and lie about it every day. Must be good Kool-Aid and a requirement to be in the Obama administration, the need to be a pathological liar.
Yesterday Obama denounced the Supreme Court at the G-7 summit. Today we hear he is “optimistic” SOTUS will rule the subsidy provided to the 36 states that opted to have the Feds run their exchanges will prevail. The subsidies under the law are only permitted to the 14 states that set up their own exchange. Again he shows no respect for the Court or the separation of powers provided in the Constitution he swore to uphold.
Patriot, Obama is pretty good at insulting the Court. Do you remember him insulting them at a State of Union speech a few years ago? He has lamented provisions of the Constitution which tells him what he can’t do rather than what he can do. Most laws are written telling people what they can’t do or there will be consequences civilly or criminally. We have a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy as Democrats like to say.
Someone determined that 10 more thumbs down votes than thumbs up votes will result in a comment being concealed, and has ‘botted’ the 4 comments above (which are in opposition to The ACA). My thumbs up vote on the 3rd comment has ‘re-revealed it, as it now only has 9 more thumbs down votes versus thumbs up votes.
I agree with President Obama. He said, “Congress could fix this whole thing with a one-sentence provision.” That sentence should be, “the Affordable Care Act is hereby repealed.”
Ned, I don’t think his signature legislation is a candidate for Obama agreeing to repeal it and start over. He wants the language to be amended to say that subsidies should be granted to every state no matter if they have a state exchange or the federal blunder of Healthcare.gov. How many people trust the government with their personal information now that the hackers have invaded literally every department of the government?
And, on another note, the Liberal-Progressive Governor of my state, Connecticut, has put through a budget that does the following: Puts the State at risk of MAJOR corporations (GE, Aetna, Travelers, Boehringer-Ingelheim)leaving CT for friendlier tax states; over 23,000 low-income families, with children, are at risk of losing Medicaid. Does Malloy think that these low-income families are going to be able to afford Obamacare? Is this why he passed such a ridiculous budget last week? These A-HOLE politicians really do have their heads up their butts, if they think that these people will turn to Obamacare for coverage. They will go without coverage, because they are already scrambling to pay rent, buy food, pay for utilities..I, personally, cannot wait to get out of this State…does anyone know of a nice, warm, RED state that I can move to?!
I am loving Wisconsin. Estimated cost to heat my house for next year – $700.00. IL, I was pushing $200 @ month. Gasoline spikes to 2.73 a gal last week. Property tax bill cut in half. TV, Tel & Net charges $137 vs almost $200+. No tax on Food.
OfnBama Care really screwed the health market. Only thing available is 1 PPO with docs over 20 miles away for about the same price with the three kids added on. I can go HMO for a substantial reduction in cost.
Great FFA on your move. Looks like there are substantial advantages living in Wisconsin over Illinois. I hope the insurance market is better as well. Perhaps you and Dave can throw your lots together and and do well. By the way, just as you were leaving, the Black Hawks won the Stanley Cup. Chicago really needed a winner. The Cubs actually look pretty good this year with a new manager and some young players who are doing well.

I am not too far from the “Chicago” bar. I caught one game of the Finals and the last three minutes of the last game. Chicago is nutsssssss about their Black Hawks. SI has them labeled as a Dynasty. 3 Cups in 6 years. I can only imagine what is gonna happen should the Cubs get to the Series.
As long as Il keeps producing the Political Criminals, the Fed Pen in that neck of the woods certainly helps the Employments in the local area.

On the fast train out of CT, as soon as my kid graduates HS next year! Malloy is just out of control, how the people of CT keep voting for him is beyond me. This state is the pitts.
I’m doing the same next year here in Illinois. The Democrats have ruined the state, we have a huge pension mess based on huge promises and limited funding for it because they were over-spending on other things.
Hey Dave and Trust me, I don’t blame you for moving out of the very blue states you live in. Almost any of the red states have better environments to work and live in with lower taxes, better cost of living, job creation.
Trust me, there are 36 to choose from to move to. If you stay in the N/E, you will still be in the same boat as you are now. Blue States are not going to change and have a lightbulb turn on over their head. They only know one way, the Progressive way with massive Keynsian spending, high taxation and regulation. It is in their genes.
I just read the article. The arrogance of this guy. He wrote the law as it is. He made the mistake that is getting miss-interpreted. This is all on him.
You are right FFA. The Progressive Liberals arrogance was on full display assuming all the states would set up exchanges for subsidy allowances. Imagine the shock on their faces when 36 states said no way. They also didn’t want Medicaid expansion which will bankrupt state budgets in the near future. This is all on Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer and minions.

You received no replies. How interesting.
That’s because Red States are becoming less and less available. Effing liberals effed that up, too.

Dave, if your heading to WI, do it now.
Come on down to North Carolina and we will make you an honorary Tarheel (which has nothing to do with the basketball team with the same name.)
