It never ceases to amaze me how those on the political right have no sense of morality or empathy for their fellow citizens. Putting these people in power is like hiring Jack the Ripper as a social worker.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/01/us...ml?src=me&_r=0

This stands out:

'The ruling, if ultimately upheld, could cut off financial assistance for more than 4.5 million people who were found eligible for subsidized insurance in the federal exchange, or marketplace.'

It seems it would be best if these people do in fact have their own country, where their devotion to selfishness can find full expression. I sure don't want them in the USA.

I don't really think you should label them "conservatives"..the rw has hijacked that name as their own,but they are far from it.

Greed is the most pervasive and persistent of the Deadly sins. Conservatives in this country want money, power and control of women more than anything like freedom or justice for all.

Lol, yeah, the Liberals have been doing a killer job for the past eight years. Half the country is on welfare, wages are stagnant, we have 12 million illegals leeching off the system and more coming across the border every day, terrorism is proliferating, Obamacare is a disaster, IRS scandal, VA scandal, Benghazi scandal...but it's the Conservatives fault. If you say so.

Why don't you be less selfish and subsidize people in those states yourself? Why do you insist on hoarding your money?

These are huge subsidies for insurance companies, nothing more. The only correct way to do this is to cut the insurance companies out of the equation so in that regard I hope Supreme Court rules the same so that this huge give away to the insurance companies collapses.

The only problem is it's likely going to take awhile for someone to get a proper program in place after this debacle.

As I recall it was democrats who wrote the law and said no thanks to nay input. Reminds me of Obama blaming intelligence for his failed plan in leaving Iraq and now for his failure to pay attention to ISIS. Democrats always blaming and pointing finger when they fail.

It's so much better when the money is just spread around, eh? Tell ya what.. Spread yours around rather than that which belongs to someone else. The government has no money. It has only what it collects from taxpayers, so what the government spends is not their money, but ours.

I'm not against anyone having proper medical care, or the coverage to obtain it. I'm just not going to pay for it for anyone but myself and my family. You want/need it, then go go buy it just like I do. And pay the same rates as I do.

Your mindset is more suited to an ant colony.

So why do you want to steal other money if not motivate by greed. Greed is the motive for theft even in law.

I'm a conservative and I consider myself to me a fairly moral guy, I'm just tired of paying for the lives of other people who have made bad life choices.

If my common sense comes off as immoral to you then so be it, you step up and write a check out of your pocket.
