If the ACA is over turned

[Mike Evans]

What will the pubs do for the millions who will be thrown off their insurance?

[Mom49of4]

What will you do to help if that happens?

Hmmmm, since you ask. I will hope that every repub in the world get sick and get thrown off their insurance.

Republicans probably will try to pass something similar to Obamacare/Romneycare but under a different name

just like the Dem's blocked slots until Martin was voted in then it became a good idea.

Either that or they will have to explain to dying kids, why Mommy& Daddy lost their house because of them. This is a win win for the president. I'm sure repubs think if the mandate is over turned they will still keep the goodies. Once the mandate is gone, lil Becky, fresh out of high school is on her own

I dunno, maybe make kids have to be on the policy for a more sensible term, say 18 or 23 if a full time student? That would sound about right to me.

I thought everybody shouldn't go to College. Gop better get a plan to insure 50 million people, and find a way to keep the goodies. Looks like single payer is coming because insurance companies won't survive without the mandate and keep the goodies. Way to go repubs, vote against your own bill. The funny thing is, the senators and house repubs, will still keep their goodies

If you think this is win win for Obama you'll be very happy next week right?

Why will republicans have to do anything? They will have been right all along that the ill conceived, quickly passed trophy legislation was unconstitutional. If republicans pass anything in the house, Harry Reid would likely kill it in the senate, and if not, Obama would veto it anyway. Just like they did with the debt ceiling bills. If ACA is overturned, it is only because the democrats that rushed to have it passed failed to do the proper research and understand exactly what the constitution really means. In which case, it is really not what will pubs do, but rather what will the democrats do to make up for their lack of due diligence and understanding of the constitution when they passed the ill fated bill in the first place.

Will it cover Border Patrol agents shot down by Mexican drug runners with guns provided by the Obama DOJ?

Sounds like a burgeoning clause in one's health care policy.

Ask george Bush, the white guy.

Not true, it was a republican bill. Repubs are playing politcs. They did not want the public option, because the swore it would kill private insurance. Let's see how the pubs play this out

How was it a republican bill? It was crafted and passed with a democratic president, a democratic house, and a democratic senate. Even before it was passed there were people questioning whether or not the mandate would stand up to a supreme court challenge. If the SCOTUS upholds it, does that mean republicans can take credit for it? I don't think so. The vote was pretty much on party lines. It is a democrat bill, and it's success or failure will lay with democrats.

Wrong again, Libbie! This was a bill that was the bastard offspring of 0, our failed president. This is a failed president who has contempt for the constitution that he took an oath to uphold. Our failure of a president made this ACA the showpiece of his administration. He once taught constitutional law. 0 knew what was in the ACA and that it violated the document that he swore to uphold. Yet, he signed it anyway. 0 is a failure as well as national disgrace to his office.

No that was a totally different deal than what Ehrlich was offering. O'Malley's plan didn't allow slots operators to rape the state. If they belly up tomorrow we owe them nothing. Under Ehrlichs plan we would have had to refund their licensing fees.

I don't think SCOTUS will uphold the mandate. That strikes at the heart of Freedom of Contract and Bargaining. Freedom of contract includes the right to not contract and even do without if that's what it takes to get your best deal. But I do think they will uphold pretty much the rest of it as Congresses right to regulate Commerce. Including covering preexisting conditions.

Obamacare is a Democrat policy but the Individual Mandate and the healthcare exchanges are Republican ideas. In fact, there are very few differences between Obama's plan and the plan implemented by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts. President Bush's Social Security privitization plan from 2005 was also based on an Individual Mandate. The only reason Republicans didn't vote for Obamacare was politics. If a republican would have proposed the same plan they wouldn't have been against it. If it is overturned, they will try to keep some of the popular provisions in place.

Most Democrats want Single Payer healthcare. Obamacare makes marginal changes to the current system but what Democrats want is a complete overhaul that ultimately weakens private insurance companies...

Poor Becky. I've been pretty much paying for everything for myself since I was 11. But I've never been a weak little liberal who needs the gubmint to take care of me from cradle to grave so that explains why I've been able to do that.
If only Becky was a Conservative, she wouldn't have to worry.
