Obamacare Heading To The Supreme Court

Postby Shadowstar1922 » 05 Mar 2015, 10:33

Read the full article here for I only posted the first few paragraphs. http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/03/02/3628103/justice-likely-vote-case-obamacare/
On Wednesday, the justices will hear oral arguments in King v. Burwell. They will consider whether to take health care away from millions of Americans. They will consider whether to cast much of the health care sector into chaos, potentially destabilizing the individual insurance market in many states. They will consider whether to undercut a program that provides health care to children, potentially leaving 5 million of these children uninsured. And they will consider whether thousands of wives get to hold their husbands again and whether thousands of fathers get to kiss their daughters again. By one estimate, nearly 10,000 Americans will die every year if the justices vote against Obamacare in King.
King, in the words of the New York Times‘ Linda Greenhouse, enlists the Supreme Court “into the front lines of a partisan war.” It rests on the notion that six words of a nearly 1,000 page law can be read out of context to destroy one of the law’s central functions. And, yet, the King plaintiffs could prevail. The biggest predictor of how a judge will vote in an Obamacare case has been the judge’s political party, and five of the nine justices are Republicans.
Based on our analysis of the law, the justices’ past statements, and their ability to resist partisan pressure in the past, here is a breakdown of how each justice is likely to vote, ranked from the most likely to uphold the law to the most likely to take health care away from millions:


also, all of the claims for example, "5 million children will be uninsured" if you go on the article by ThinkProgress, you may click these claims and TP has individual articles explaining how and why.

dear frook above, what is it with americans and not having good universal healthcare for everyone? Almost every other first world country in the world has it and they are not bankrupt or having any serious economic crises (which is healthcare related). Can't they just leave obamacare alone????
