The GOP is in a "Catch 22" regardless of the decision by the SCOTUS. The GOP brought this on themselves because the GOP congress would not participate in the planning of the ACA. The GOP should have helped create the ACA instead of complaining now about those parts of the bill they could have had influence to change at the time.

There were plenty of compromises while this bill was being drafted. If the GOP had participated in drafting the ACA bill, instead of sitting out and pouting, they might have contributed aspects that they believed would be beneficial.

Before Obamacare a little over 14% of the nation was uninsured, today a little over 12% is uninsured.

The secret? Keep the economy in the crapper.

Looking at the demographics and it is clear that this is what we always thought it was, one huge transfer of wealth.

In U.S., Uninsured Rate Sinks to 12.9%

Obama: I won, you lost. That was from day one.

It's not like Obama was welcoming or any help here.

"We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for a ride, but they gotta sit in back."

This is the exact opposite position that he took as candidate Obama. You don't demean people and then expect them to help.

This is a quagmire for these GOP governors, especially those who want to run for POTUS.

they said the same thing about the King when colonistts dumped Tea in the harbor.....'are you're going to get it!!!"

How did that work out?
