    @Michael wmeJust wanted to say thanks for providing links that actually go to articles that are, themselves, both informative and also linked to their own source material.

    In states that created their own marketplaces for health insurance, the subsidies are not a problem. The only people who would be denied the subsidies that would enable them to have health insurance are those who live in states which refused to create their own marketplaces. Just like those people who are still ineligible for medicaid because their states refused to expand medicaid. In short, the refusal of many states to step up to the plate is going to kill a whole lot of their citizens, and may kill a lot more if this ruling stands, as it demonstrable that those who do not have health insurance suffer and die at much higher rates than those who do have it. But what do GOP politicians care about that? We are not talking about people likely to vote GOP, so they don’t really matter. “If they would rather die, they had better do it, and reduce the surplus population.” That really what the poor and unemployed are to the GOP, “the surplus population.”

    I’m fortunate to live in a blue state, where the government is not actively campaigning AGAINST my health, well-being, finances, and freedom. The ruling would only affect me if it manages to ruin the huge gains that the ACA has made in lowering insurance costs nationwide. But it’s unlikely to stand, since it was based on naked partisanship and no actual legal grounds.
