...as federal judge Robert Vinson rules Obamacare unconstitutional. At the same time, all republican senators are on board for a "YES" for repeal vote on the Senate floor.

A bad day for Obama... is a good day for America.

I'd think some Dem senators would vote for the repeal, assuming they want to be reelected more than they want to suck dear leader's tool.

Doesn't really matter if the unconstitutionality is upheld to the Supreme Court.  If Reid won't bring it to a vote, it only hurts the democrat senators.

Which is why the House republicans have brought the vote to the floor, and will continue to do so. It gets the democrats on record as being for or against Obamacare; this is a great tactic, given that Zerocare is the biggest "Who's-the-daddy?" piece of legislation in Washington. Only the most hard-core socialists want their names attached to it, and the moderate dems who went along for the ride are now scrambling to get out from under the wheels of the bus.

this is true but the shit talking from Obama to our 5 justices recently isn't going to get him any favors when they are deciding just how far they are willing to stretch the constitution to let his center piece exist.

As written by the judge in his decision:
"I
note that in 2008, then-Senator Obama supported a health care reform
proposal that did not include an individual mandate because he was at
that time strongly opposed to the idea, stating that ‘if a mandate was
the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating
everybody to buy a house,’...” Judge Vinson wrote in a footnote toward the end of the 78-page ruling Monday.

The judges decision might actually be a bad thing. If people aren't required to have health insurance, insurance providers will go bankrupt. You only buy insurance after you get hurt or get old.
So goverment insurance will replace private.

The entire bill would have to be thrown out.  You're right, requiring insurance companies to cover all pre existing conditions and not requiring coverage for everyone would be a death knell for insurance companies.  Or we'll just be paying really, really high prices.

So how do you explain the existence of insurance before Obamacare?


Also: Pre-existing conditions are not covered or add additional premium to keep people from waiting until they are sick to buy insurance.

You seem to lack a fundamental understanding of how insurance works.

you got that backwards dude. Obamacare will make insurance bankrupt. All the mandates as well as forcing the coverage of pre existing conditions will drive prices through the roof.  The fine for not buying insurance will be a fraction of what premiums will cost under fully implimented Obamacare.  Thus nobody will buy nisurance until they are very ill then will dump coverage after treatment because the fine is cheaper.



The intent of this bill was to bankrupt private insurance by this means.

The insurance companies won't allow that to happen.  They'll paper DC with all sorts of money to get the entire bill repealed if the mandate is struck down.



Without the mandate, Obamacare is just massive and expensive new government regulations for insurers.

There should be a clause somewhere that punishes any publicly elected lawmaker that votes for legislation that is ultimately found unconstitutional through the judicial branch.

Start fining the fuckers 50,000 or 75,000 for bad votes, we might see some change in the socialists tune.

Obamacare is changing current insurance laws, like there are no longer maximum payouts, children  are covered until they are 26, and pre-existing conditions are not allowed to be used to deny coverage. So you could get diabetes and then sign up for health insurance. Hit 60, get cancer, sign up for health insurance.
