You could solve that problem by simply not requiring the insurance company to sell it to somebody who has a — a condition that is going to require medical treatment, or at least not – not require them to sell it to him at — at a rate that he sells it to healthy people. But you don’t want to do that.Apparently he is stupid, since no one has suggested insurance rates for those with pre-existing conditions be the same as those for healthy people. |

I'm someone that has a pre-existing condition that is genetic....I did not ask for it. I certainly shouldn't be economically crucified for something that was not my doing, nor could be prevented through any change in lifestyle, diet or exercise (in fact I has quit smoking over 10 years before it hit). I did not ask for this. Thing is, with regular medical care it shouldn't make a difference WRT lifespan. However, I couldn't get insurance until ACA came about. Now that's about to come to an abrupt end thanks to some RW creep on SCOTUS.Nazis like Scalia want to kill Americans. This is not a person that should be sitting where he is, with the power to kill innocent people. |

Car Insurance rates are higher for poor drivers. Home Owners Insurance rates are higher for people living in high crime areas? Life Insurance rates are higher for people who smoke, have high blood pressure or diabetes. Why should health insurance be any different other than it effects you? |

I don't smoke.I eat as well as I can afford to, am a "borderline vegetarian". (Ask Selkirk, I make him nutz sometimes) I don't engage in any risky activities. I am NOT diabetic. I do not have high blood pressure. Yet I am high risk because of something I have no control over. I should not have to pay higher rates because of something I have no control over, especially when I am doing everything I can to minimize the consequences of. |

Apparently Stephen Breyer is a blithering moron with absolutely no grasp of Constitutional definitions or even judicial precedent:http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/breyers-unhinged-commerce-clause-ramblings/453011 I am not sure why the left is surprised that the non-liberal wing of the SCOTUS is not embracing the administration's arguments. They need to get out of that ideological cocoon and into the real world every now and then. |

While Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, Jr. made the Obama administration’s case for the constitutionality of the individual mandate in the health-care law Tuesday, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia interrupted, telling Verrilli, “we’re not stupid.”Justice Elena Kagan, a former solicitor general appointed by President Obama to the high court, sided with Verilli in arguing that young people should be required by the federal government to purchase health insurance because eventually, others will subsidize their health care in the future. Scalia shot back, arguing that young people will make the decision to buy health insurance eventually and do not need to be forced by the federal government to engage in commerce. Elena is walking on thin ice though as a SC justice with a statement like that. Whether "young people should be required to purchase..." is the case or not, "SHOULD be" is the key words there. That does NOT make it constitutional that the government FORCES them to do so. She needs to be looking at the constitution, and what it DOES permit, not what she or anyone else thinks it "should" say or wants it to say. |

Thought I heard she helped, did argue, or wrote the arguments to support it. She's basically judging herself in a worser way than Roberts was accused of. Or was it Thomas? I dunno, all those right wingers look a like. |

She had nothing to do with, that was handled by another division. Thomas is more closely related to the effort to lobby against the law, as his wife was involved on a professional level. He didn't recuse himself. |

It's pretty shocking to listen to the 4 lefty justices during the arguments. They pretty much ignored the law, made the administration's arguments for them if they felt the SG was doing it inadequately and repeatedly appealed to emotion instead of law, at times equating need for law with constitutionality of law. |

The law in question is the Constitution itself. Congress is given two tasks in the relevant section...regulating commerce and providing for the general welfare. The ACA does both. Congress has the power to enact legislation that is necessary and proper to those ends.Few argue that need.The decision should be obvious, aside from those on SCOTUS lacking a concept of what is written in the Constitution.However, it won't be what it should, I expect 5-4 partisan. A decision like that will kill the court's reputation for years to come. |
