Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

LOL. I'd hyperventilate if there was a possibility of a filibuster proof majority. Even better if there was a chance for a veto-proof supermajority. Well, if it was full of constitutionalists rather than religious conservatives and the President was also a constitutional conservative...

I agree the mandate will be stricken. The law will remain but a public option will be necessary.
4,487
18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally
44 U.S.C. 2202 - The United States shall reserve and retain complete ownership, possession, and control of Presidential records; and such records shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
LOCK HIM UP!

I agree. Without the mandate, there will be no way for the new system to work. If they strike down the mandate, they need to strike down EMTALA.
Of course, they'd never strike down something Raygun rammed through.
The good news is that we will indeed get the public option if SC strikes down the mandate.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
Correct...unless you take away Raygun's free healthcare section of COBRA legislation. If people cannot get free care at the ER, they might just consider purchasing insurance.
Ironically, the insurance lobby will be pounding down the Beltway doors if the mandate gets overturned. They need the mandate.
We'll see tens of millions of uninsured people, unless we finally get the public option.

No, I didn't miss it. Nor did I miss the comment about pre Obamacare, and the 'non crisis'.
Fact is, there is a crisis. Natl. hc comes at a price. Taxes will have to be raised significantly, as they are in every country w/natl. hc.
That's why I call for the option to buy into Medicare. It adds millions of low risk customers to a system that currently takes only the highest risk demographic.
Win/Win...but mainly for those of us who are healthy, and in great shape.
