Quoted: I thought the FL judge just said the mandate was, not the whole thing. doesn't all of it depend on the mandate to fund all of this since they count "savings" as money since they assume everyone will actually follow the mandate and go waste money on a plan they can't afford? |

Didn't the whole law depend on the mandate? So, of course if that's ruled unconstitutional, then the whole bill gets thrown out.
Do you guys realize how much and how far reaching such a decision could be for Conservatives? If it get rejected, everything is at stake for the Democrats. It could really send this country down a completely different path. |

Quoted: insurance companies will not drop their rates. Why would they. They know the dems are going to keep pushing. because they increased their rates based on formulas of increased costs from Obamacare. If those predicted costs are removed then insurance companies would no longer be a target of the people and the democrats would lose the argument. Insurance companies have a lot to lose if this shit stands. They have a lot to gain if republicans have momentum on healthcare and do some real free market reforms actually reducing the cost of CARE. Insurance companies can then go after a bigger customer base. The more people insured for the same profit margin the less likely the people are to vote to fuck over the insurance companies. cutting costs is good for business long term. |

The reason I say this will get to SCOTUS so soon is because there will be differing opinions in the Circuits, and, frankly, there are too many states behind this for the case to go too slow. |

It depends on what's called "severability" If the Supremes (where this is headed) find a part of it unconstitutional, they can either strike down just that portion of the law or the entire law, depending on several things. The individual mandate is central to the overall law, and the super geniuses who wrote it failed to add in a severability clause, which means it's pretty likely the whole law would be voided, lock, stock and barrel. At that point it's as if it never passed.
That's the state the law is in right now, at least until the government appeals and tries to get a stay on the Florida federal judge's ruling. |

How long before it gets to SCOTUS? Most of the law kicks in 2014 right? Hopefully the structure of the court doesnt change before this happens. I think the liberals were pretty bold in mandating this shit. The madate to purchase is what is designed to fund the program, correct? So if that part is found unconstitutional then the whole law is fucked, right? |

Then the mandated insurance portion of Obama Care will cease to be. This will piss off the insurance companies who were supposed to make huge bucks out of forcing everyone into the plan. They will simply make the premiums super expensive for those with preexisting conditions, and those people will then choose not to buy insurance... and for the most part everything will be as it was... a few more consumer protections and a few more taxes.
... oh and a lot of rich lobbyists and lawyers! |

It will go a long way towards showing that insurance companies had no choice but to raise rates and will give republicans merit to try some free market ideas in reducing costs. They already decided the general outcome of Obamacare. If they decided that Obamacare is unconstitutional, the majority opinion will be narrow like all opinions. Most likely one or more parts will be strike down but not all. The other parts that remains will have to start the process over again. |

Obama's biggest victory becomes his biggest failure.
They have either the choice to trying to keep pushing something that is unconstitutional or change the Constitution. The Liberals would really, really love to be able to bypass the Constitution and any other procedural process with this. Because once they do, they will continue to try to do it. And basically nullify the Constitution by making it irrelevant. Then point out the fact that they did so, and seek to replace it with their own Constitution and sets of rules and laws, that they will try to impose on us. |

Then point out the fact that they did so, and seek to replace it with their own Constitution and sets of rules and laws, that they will try to impose on us. This was the first true showing of the lefts hand and of what we are up against. If you recall they couldn't get the 60 vote option and so with no joy, they tried the 51% vote (reconcilliation) By the time the dust was starting to settle they were wrangling on ways to just force it through even though legally it didn't have the votes. Basically by just saying they are the party in power and they will get what they wanted. What they were willing to at the time, was to nearly become a one Party Government and take it all, just to pass Healthcare. This had never been used before for this type of law, only to pass budgets in emergencies. If you read Obama's peoples response to the Judges decision, it was basically, "Well, we think it is Constitutional and we are pressing forward." His people are trying to bypass the Judicial Branch in declaring law Constitutional or not. This needs to go to SCOTUS and have them decapitate it and assign it to the dust bin of history. And Obama will have been delt a political blow that I don't think he could recover from. The saving grace in all this is that, Obama, his people and his agenda tried to reach to far with this, they tried to force something upon us that was way too far reaching, way to intrusive, and that will ultimately be it's undoing. They should have just tried to stay within the Constitution's bounds, do something that really fixed some issues, and offered us something that even Republicans, Conservatives, and even a few Libertarians could agree with in the spirit of compromise and trying to work together. But instead they went for the jugular, and I think the whole thing will get shit-canned because of it. Fuck 'em, all the better now, stew in failure for being greedy, over zealous Communist, Socialist fucks. They could have fixed ALOT simply by deregulating the health insurance industry and letting people shop out of state for health insurance. They could have fixed a lot just by trying to work with the Republicans, being transperant, not giving favors to unions, initiated tort reform, deregulating insurance. But adding riders, the whole $600 tax reporting issue, and everything else we haven't seen yet, all the IRS agents... What it comes down to, is that they were trying to do something along the lines of a complete Social-Political restructuring in one bill. If it was up to them it would have been a 10,000 page document that was a Liberal Christmas wish list come true. But they reached too far, they could have done a lot of good things and actually given us all something that was helpful, but really they were looking to do a whole lot more. |
