Imagine this: no lifetime coverage limits. Insurers being able to cover preexisting conditions because of liability limits. Lower premiums.

...yet still enough out-of-pocket expense to prevent the excess strain on the system caused by free access everytime one has the sniffles.

An interesting proposal.

This ruling is from a Federal Judge in my hometown, which is kind of "cool".


Anyone who knows the Constitution is well aware that the mandate is unconstitutional.I am a first year law student and one of the required first year classes is Constitutional Law.Obama, who is no fan of the Constitution(because it stands in the way of his agenda) does know the Constitution, he went to law school and(ironically) taught constitutional law(kind of scary this guy teaching others) in Chicago. Judges who ruled in favor are well aware of this but they let their left wing views prevent them from being objective.Found it funny when Barry accused the Judge of judicial activism for adhering to the constitution.

You know, Obama admin could have filed for severability,but they did not so now the entire law will sink or swim.

Anyway, good job to the Judge, can't wait for this to get to SCOTUS, it will come down to Kennedy but will be shocked if he goes with the government on this one.Most likely a 5-4 striking Obamacare down.

P.S. Props to the judge for using Barry's own words against him, shows his hyprocrisy.

Yeah, it is, actually. But it would need copays substantial enough to deter people seeking emergent care for non-emergent conditions.

Since I agree with the recent ruling 100% regarding any law requiring someone to buy something they'd need to set it up as a tax program like SS (I was against republican plans that had mandates for the same reason—they are grossly beyond the scope of government power (and yeah, I'm against requiring insurance to have a car as well)). They should dismantle medicaid completely (it is hopelessly broken), and repeal medicare part D (no one who paid in and is now collected expected free prescriptions during their working lives).

Catastrophic care insurance is also the least expensive, and most important from a public standpoint (since anyone showing up in an ER emergently MUST be seen, period). This would guarantee payment for trauma facilities, etc. Note that private is still an option here. the government would simply put out a bid for 300 million customers, and play hardball on cost and benefits.

The should also change the rules so insurance can compete over state lines (odd that congress decides to rape the interstate commerce clause for this terrible bill, yet didn't bother to actually regulate interstate commerce and allow insurance to become competitive across state lines).
