I'm sure most of you have heard by now that the Supreme Court has ruled to uphold subsidies nationwide for health care insurance under the exchanges. I can't begin to say how relieved I am.....with any luck there will be no major lawsuits against ObamaCare going forward and we will have at least this basic framework for access to health care for all going forward. I know it's not without it's issues - but does anyone really want to go back to the 24/7/365 econonic terrorism or preexisting conditions clauses? I for my part could not and would not do that, to reinstate such would be a sign that I'm best off leaving the United States.

I have to admit I'm even a little surprised by this decision - I really expected ObamaCare to get gutted. I wonder if the Supreme Court decided this way due to fear that people really would take to the streets if their insurance was taken away? This is my guess - those justices can't be so foolish as to not understand that there are millions of Americans with really no stake in the system and little to nothing to lose. Take away access to health care for such people and logically, why shouldn't they take to the streets? I doubt this take will ever make it to the media, and who knows, I could be wrong, but this is my instinct as to why ObamaCare did not get gutted. But really, as long as the law stands in some form, I guess it doesn't matter why......what is important is that basic human rights over preexisting conditions clauses triumph over corporate profits. And it looks like I'm getting that so I for one am happy. Rob
