OK, I'm thinking green would be appropriate.

This is a huge opening for single payer healthcare. Once the exchanges get up and running in 2014 (they should have already been up and running so people don't remain uninsured), if costs are still too high after a year or two it's simple to just put Medicare on the exchanges for all ages.

Doing that would eliminate the private insurance companies - so I predict they will do very well on competitive exchange pricing for us.

Capitalism and free market competition - it's a good thing

at any rate, i'm disappointed-the screwing of me and the rest of the middle class will only get worse. and i feel that this could be a pyhhric victory for obama, who has won a battle but may end up losing the war.

most americans hate the law. should be an interesting campaign going forward.

wonder when the next amended cbo report comes out, and what this'll do to our spending levels.

Good point, hadn't thought of that...reason they passed it was to piss off most Americans and have them make a right turn...just in time for the election...

lol
and i hadn't thought of THAT! i doubt that is what produced the ruling tho.


the argument used in the ruling does engender questions for me tho. going forward, what else can the fed now decide is good for us, we must all have, and if we don't they will 'tax'? this just opened up a huge can of worms.
give a pol an inch, he'll take yours and everyone else's too!
