Unless Obama blackmails Justice Roberts again, the Supreme Court should throw out Obamacare this time. And don't forget Darth Vader Ginsburg is halfway through deaths door. Even though her body is falling apart, you have to admire her for having all of her mental faculties at her age, while Nacy Pelosi who is ~10 years younger has half of hers.

When was the 2nd time Obamacare was in the Supreme Court? I know it was when it was first passed, but I don't remember a 2nd time. :?

am guessing you must have a gold-plated Cadillac health plan that is secure.

No. I have insurance through my employer with a 5 or 6000 dollar deductible that I only met because I was in the hospital.

if you lose your job you lose that coverage as well. and with the return of pre-existing conditions clauses, the chances are excellent that you will henceforth be uninsurable. something to think about.

In the meantime I'll be perfectly healthy and pay for illegal immigrants' and other freeloaders' health insurance. :roll:

Those people you dehumanize are just that - - people who have the exact feelings and emotions you do.

Trump echoed his earlier statements ... saying ...

This is a "GREAT RULING" and this should encourage Democrats to get one board with better health care.

What better health care plan? Trump and the Republicans have absolutely nothing to replace the ACA with. Where's Trump's promise to give us all universal healthcare?

Why are so many people against Obama Care? I'm not from the US and don't understand why they want to undo everything done by the previous administration just for the sake of it.

It’s designed to make insurance companies richer not helpe people. It forces people to buy insurance they can’t afford or be fined by the government. Either way the insurance company aka a mafia gets thier money. Imagine being forced to buy any other product?
Sure some people get helped but many more get hurt, it’s a law r make money for the companies nothing more nothing less. They helped the politicians write it, they paid off politicians to pass it. Thought democrats were suppose to be against big busines, instead they reward big business.
I have worse health care cause of it. It’s part of why I don’t go to the dentis. Before it I could get my tearhnfix, after it they only pay to pull teeth.

Of course it does. It's just that "Trumpanzees" are the ones who do most of the dehumanizing.

Medicaid is a STATE program, funded in part by the federal government, but the STATE makes the rules about what is covered. So changes in Sly's Medicaid dental program would have to have been made at the state level.

The ACA (= Obamacare) resulted in increasing health care coverage for millions of Americans. It required that pre-existing conditions be covered. It permits children to be covered up to age 26, which has helped many young adults, including ones with disabilities to be covered longer. Some people were affected badly, primarily in states that refused to increase Medicaid coverage. But the majority of people affected are doing better.

As bad as Medicaid is - and it has many problems - it is way better than no health care coverage at all. Should I be complaining that my tax dollars are going to pay for your health care???? No, I am not, because I believe that as a civilized community we should be helping others in as many ways as possible.

They had to decrease the expenses.
