1. The Supremes are only reviewing two of the 10 major provisions of the law -- the individual mandate & new state Medicaid requirements.
2. The Supremes opted not to review the employer mandate, indicating they could well uphold the individual mandate.
3, Perhaps most important, the Supremes side with big business 9 times out of 10 in their rulings. Big insurance companies want Obamacare with the individual mandate because it effectively institutionalizes private health insurance as central to the U.S. health care system. They know if Obamacare dies and health care costs continue to price consumers out of the market, a one-payer government-operated health insurance system is just a matter of time.

People can no longer afford health care whether they are working or not. Also, all it takes is one worker at a small company to get seriously sick for an insurance company to jack up rates so high the employer has no choice but to drop coverage for all employees and their dependents. That has been happening for many years. There are about 60+ million people with no health care coverage and another 50 million Americans are now underinsured ... and that probably includes you and me.
Here's what is sad. The Supreme Court should be making their decision on Obamacare based on the CONSTITUTIONALITY of the law as it was written. But what the far right justices will consider is whether or not the free-market system of health insurance could implode if it is repealed. Justice Kennedy will recognize that the future of the health care industry is at stake.. and the vote will come down to 5-4, with Kennedy being the power vote to uphold it.
Obama care is a joke, proof, those that supported it bought exemptions from it.
It will be overturned. otherwise government can soon demand you buy a government motors car made in Mexico and Canada.(remember the peoples car in Nazi Germany the VW, while hitler rode in mercedes) Like the mercury filled light bulbs made in China.Oh wait that already do that. the Obama/GE complex. Maybe the government might decide they should be the providers of groceries, no more safeway, no more luckys, no more pigly wigley, just a government food store, ready to get in line? Ready to get in line for health care, or if exempt you get to go to the head of the line?
