imo, just another sideshow.
I would love to be wrong.

We'll have to see how this plays out before we start throwing the confetti. Congresspeople are a sneaky bunch many of whom exist only for the purpose of getting re-elected. Every move they make is determined by whether or not it will get them back at the trough.

Except that Obama will veto it. It would only have teeth if there were an Impeachment resolution behind it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased that the principled side of the Senate was able to pressure McConnell into not just going along with things. I'm also pleased that the Republicans finally took a play out of the Democrats book and used Reconciliation. The problem is that it's not going to matter with a Presidential Veto still looming.

Nope.

Another dog and pony show to obfuscate the slow and steady march to a one payer system.

Unfortunately, even the supreme court seems to be in favor of Obama and Obama's directives. I am about ready to vote for Sanders and get this whole socialist thing OVER WITH. It would cause a collapse of the country, but thats going to come anyway with the direction we are going. Perhaps with a collapse can come a rebirth

This stake toward the heart will hit dragon scale mail and will be deflected.

one could only hope. MY family has had health insurance for nearly 20 years, but due to ACA we will be without any health insurance next year. It just didn't make sense to spend $1422/mo for something I seldom get to take advantage of. My out of pocket for the year would have been $25K before the policy would ever kick in. It just does not make logical sense. I hope they can get something worked out before long.

If only :-(

The bamacareless act was in trouble before we renamed it to dishonored the idiot that imposed it upon us.

Obamacare IS trouble

I hope so. What I notice is that, like the Global Warming push, now one increasingly sees people questioning it. There is more pushback on the ACA now. When it fails (and it will fail) we will have had more people immunized against socialist healthcare, and that will give us a better chance to defeat a single-payor system.

If there are enough people to strongly elect a Repubilcan President, then I would consider it evidence in favor of a change in the sea wind.

No.
We have become a nation of dependency with what people depend upon as somehow being a "right".
Until reality, reason and self-interest are restored to politics we will be forced to watch a government takeover of our lives.

obamacare is trouble. it has caused trouble since its inception and the troubles that it has caused are actually getting worse. but you know that!!!!!!!

In trouble? I sure hope it is. But even if the court
makes the right judgment, that's not nearly as good
as repeal. And for it not to be vetoed, we'd have to
wait until January 2017.

So does this mean we get our money back.

The real reason it's in trouble is that it's in its death spiral. This is equivalent to everything running down fast after John Galt removed enough of the "men of the mind" from the world's economy.
