    If the Supreme Court has to hear this case, given their previous ruling, can they be considered to be fair and impartial arbiters?

        Michigan where I live is one of the places with no exchange so there are going to be a lot of unhappy people around here.

        I work for myself so I have to purchase my own insurance but don't get Obamacare. Over the past 4 - 6 years my cost have gone sky high and I have had to raise my deductible from $2500 a year to $10000 a year just to keep the monthly cost down to something that i can afford.

          If today's ruling is upheld, I think that those who needed the tax subsidy for Obamacare to be affordable would no longer be required to get Obamacare because their state doesn't have its own exchange. Proving a lack of affordability, aye, that's the rub.

            If they can open competition between states I really think that would make a huge difference. Also if I could pick what I really want and not what I am told I want that could also lower my costs.

            I am a 50 year old male so I have somewhat limited needs. I have an HSA so I pay for my visits to the doctor, my pills if needed and so on. Catastrophic coverage is what i really need and what I had in the past. In the past my max out of pocket was $2500 a year and now I dont even know if I can get coverage like that even if I could afford it.

            For the most part what I have had to do over the years is work harder and hope that I can out-earn the stupid stuff that I have no control over. I don't want or need a handout but I also wish I could buy what I need not what I am told.

      Since there are now two different fed courts that have reached two different rulings, this is likely to be fast tracked to the SCOTUS.

        That's why I asked my question.

          The real question is how did a fed court actually come to a conclusion that the clear language of the law said something different from what it says.

            That answer is easy. We are controlled by a set of bankers who want us in perpetual debt. The better question is how a three judge panel in DC actually came to the conclusion that A = A.

              Well, interest is never-ending and you really don't have to do anything once a person slips the noose around his neck to make money. Great work if you can get it I suppose. (Sarcasm)

                The 'control by interest payments' is a huge reason that I got on the Dave Ramsey plan many years back. I don't have as many things as I may have if I just borrowed to buy everything but I do know what I really own.

                Now if there was just a Dave Ramsey plan to get away from paying tax on everything I would really feel free.
