Like anyone with any common sense didn't already know this was the case, right?
Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!! Which one? It's killing me. I was hoping for the whole thing, but part is good for now.
the requirement that we buy insurance or get fined.
Looks like Obama care may not happen
Health Care Reform Provision Is Unconstitutional, Federal Judge Rules
A federal judge has ruled that part of President Obama's health care reform legislation is unconstitutional.
Oh good. This should make it easier to get the whole thing repealed so we can start over with something that cuts costs without cutting the quality of care. Isn't it Paul Ryan who has a decent plan we could use as a starting point and maybe get something bi-partisan?

That's interesting.
If we are going to force insurance companies to insure those with pre-existing conditions, we've GOT to have everybody in the plan. I don't know how healthcare can work without it.
Although, an appeal to SCOTUS may change that opinion...

Glad for the ruling but......
This will not really be news till it reads, Supreme Court rules Obama Care unconstitutional.

This is the part of the plan that makes no sense.
If I've got heart disease and need a transplant, then I sign an insurance policy, make a single $100 monthly payment, then get $250,000 worth of surgery and aftercare, how does that work for the insurance company?
This is how you know for certain Obama wants to just do away with private insurance altogether. How can they possibly compete when they have to run like a business, but the government doesn't?

Just noting from the OP:
. . . and the White House expected to lose this round.
Yeah. This is very worrysome because without the provision that we all get insurance, its going to put the insurance companies in a very bad position, which in the end will hurt everyone.
So they knew their bill was unconsitutional in the first place?
They could've saved us all a lot of time and trouble then.

Well yes and no. They knew it was unconstitutional but didn't care. With people like Kagan on the SCOTUS they think they can get away with it.
It's the disconnect I think many miss. You have to have a way to make up for the cost to insurance companies for the provisions that most like. As noted before, the public option would have been a better solution, but people opposed that as well. There is a disconnect.
Ultimately, we either need both or we need neither. Having one without the other is a recipe for disaster.
