And of course, that will never come to pass. ('fortunately' or 'unfortunately', depending upon one's P.O.V.)
I had a very savvy Grammar School teacher, a Polish nun that lived through the Third Reich and later immigrated to America - and at a very young age, in our U.S. history class, she beat into our heads that the most import legacy of a U.S. President is his Supreme Court nominations.
It took me until adulthood to realize just how right she was.
Hey, I can't help but notice your graph doesn't go back to before unemployment started rising?
Awful, they have to own this?
That's fine. But the 17% is integrally related to the 83%. For every business in that 83%, access to and affordability of healthcare is a major, major operational issue. Small startups especially.
Congratulations, Liberals, you got your wish, you get your personal healthcare paid for by the producers in this country. The least you can do is say thank you. Love seeing my tax dollars going to people who are overweight, drinkers, druggies, and in general never take care of themselves. What a great country!!
The point that everyone is missing here is process. We have one, there is remedy, and that is repair the legislation which should be a Congressional matter. It is not the job of the Supreme Court to rectify by replacement failed legislative crafting, but that is what happened here today. The dissent is right, the meaning of words and the purpose of the courts has been removed for politics. Intention does matter, but the argument for the intention directly conflicts with the ACA wording. In multiple places, you cannot discount that.
And I did read all of the decision, and all of the dissent.
Congratulations!
After two years of conflict and divisiveness based on the lie of the century, you now have, according to that, slightly less than 45 million people without coverage.
30% more than the population of Canada, all of whom have coverage.
I recall when the debate started, Obama claiming there were 35 million uninsured. What happened?
Yes, Roberts has been a pleasant surprise.
not according to the administration. it was a tax penalty they even went as far as standing up and saying that it wasn't a tax.
yep they did and more will lose it as soon as the employor mandate goes into effect.
they don't have to have a plan. things could have continued the way they were.
You know, even though my research indicates the ACA is working by my seeing many of the major stats seemingly trending in the right direction (if "costs rising less quickly" can be considered a 'trend in the right direction'), but I'm fully in agreement with you that the premiums & deductible are still too high for many, if not most, middle class families.Wrong.
There's been stories all over the net for months and months about high premiums and deductibles. Just Google 'Obamacare high deductibles high premiums' .

He wanted to remain consistent....................................With his lying.
Which is why more now, will be without insurance.
Yea, well I worked my 40 years so you're welcome.
I think this is what the liberals / progressives call a successful program. Ticks all the right boxes:Congratulations!

I have to agree. The mess Democrats made covers lots of ground. However, the are many things within the 83% of the economy Democrats ignored that are more important than Obamacare.
Broadening the tax base by improving the economics of the economy is vital. I'm pushing for that effort, rather than getting Democrats off the hook for their Obamacare mess.
Some time ago there was a congressional budget office report that stated that at the end of this decade, 2019, the US will still have 50 million people uninsured, mostly middle class.
You know, that's the population of Canada, and New Zealand combined with enough left over to import California.
Good job America! YOu are now the worst health care nation in the industrialized world!

Jonathan Gruber even explained WHY the Bill was written that way.
The poor can't even afford the premiums with the subsidies and are still using the emergency rooms through Medicaid to seek treatment. Medicaid only pays a fraction of the cost due to healthcare providers. So those who can afford the premiums are paying more for medical services to compensate. The rich can afford the premiums and higher healthcare costs. The middle class not so much.
Roberts is a hack that should be removed a this point. him and the rest of them should be arrested and removed from the bench
Logic fail.

I'm with you, justabubba -which is why we should detach healthcare coverage from the workplace
correction: we continue to have the worst health care in the industrialized world
but it is better now than before Obamacare
it was the well intended but ill advised effort to compromise with a republican approach that cost us single-payer healthcare
