this could be another stake in the heart of the
"affordable care act," don't you think? -- j

    I hope so. What I notice is that, like the Global Warming push, now one increasingly sees people questioning it. There is more pushback on the ACA now. When it fails (and it will fail) we will have had more people immunized against socialist healthcare, and that will give us a better chance to defeat a single-payor system.

    If there are enough people to strongly elect a Repubilcan President, then I would consider it evidence in favor of a change in the sea wind.

    No.
    We have become a nation of dependency with what people depend upon as somehow being a "right".
    Until reality, reason and self-interest are restored to politics we will be forced to watch a government takeover of our lives.

    Nope.

    Another dog and pony show to obfuscate the slow and steady march to a one payer system.

    Or perhaps a far bigger boot that shall remain on our necks like in North Korea.
    Be careful what you wish for in a country that voted for Obummer twice.

    We'll have to see how this plays out before we start throwing the confetti. Congresspeople are a sneaky bunch many of whom exist only for the purpose of getting re-elected. Every move they make is determined by whether or not it will get them back at the trough.

    Unfortunately, even the supreme court seems to be in favor of Obama and Obama's directives. I am about ready to vote for Sanders and get this whole socialist thing OVER WITH. It would cause a collapse of the country, but thats going to come anyway with the direction we are going. Perhaps with a collapse can come a rebirth

    In trouble? I sure hope it is. But even if the court
    makes the right judgment, that's not nearly as good
    as repeal. And for it not to be vetoed, we'd have to
    wait until January 2017.

    This stake toward the heart will hit dragon scale mail and will be deflected.

    Except that Obama will veto it. It would only have teeth if there were an Impeachment resolution behind it.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased that the principled side of the Senate was able to pressure McConnell into not just going along with things. I'm also pleased that the Republicans finally took a play out of the Democrats book and used Reconciliation. The problem is that it's not going to matter with a Presidential Veto still looming.

    one could only hope. MY family has had health insurance for nearly 20 years, but due to ACA we will be without any health insurance next year. It just didn't make sense to spend $1422/mo for something I seldom get to take advantage of. My out of pocket for the year would have been $25K before the policy would ever kick in. It just does not make logical sense. I hope they can get something worked out before long.

    like taxes, it's gone into the vote-buying machine dominated by
    corrupt Ds and Rs. -- j
