    I will reject your absurd pulling of the Nazi “Final Solution” into this discussion. Otherwise you made some good points.

    Oh, no. That was my my best line. I'm crushed! It seemed an appropriate parallel at the time. The Nazis wanted to get rid of Jews and did everything they could to make their lives miserable, but they couldn't get rid of them until one day some bright Nazi came up with the "final solution". And so it was with the ACA. The Republicans have been trying to get rid of it since the day it passed. They damaged it here; they damaged it there. Bang, bang! But somehow, badly wounded as it was, it managed to live on. Then some bright republican came up with the "final solution". Get it declared unconstitutional by making it unconstitutional!

    You're giving the same weight of a Chief Justice (GWB appointee) to the opinion of pundits in a business magazine?

    The fact of the matter is the ACA is unconstitutional. Specially when it's stripped of its mandates.

    The question is where do we go from here. Do we continue to allow the Medical and Insurance industries to write the laws or do we finally write legislation that's for the people. The ACA as it stands now is a price of crap, way too expensive and complicated for those whose backs burden the price for everyone.

    At this rate Id rather have expansion of Medicare to everyone, although it would benefit me it will further bankrupt our country.

    Open the states, get rid of localized insurance monopolies to start. I'm open for suggestions but what we have now has to go.

    That's the whole premise of this thread. That the GOP stripped the mandate knowing it would make the law unconstitutional.
