Obamacare is about insurance.

I don't see what medical equipment has to do with insurance.

The part I'm apparently not understanding is why, then, does the Republican Party support rewriting the law to allow the purchase of insurance across state lines? It would seem that they're opening themselves up to the unquestioned regulation of all health care by the federal government via the Commerce Clause.

Maybe I'm being thick, but they would seem to be opposed to that.

I wish they would open it up..that would create a new market and the one with the lowest premium would win many new customers.

SEE: Justice Dept. says it won't fast-track health-care appeal

“WASHINGTON - The Justice Department said Tuesday that it would appeal a federal judge's ruling declaring part of President Obama's health-care overhaul unconstitutional, but it rejected suggestions to take the appeal straight to the Supreme Court.

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who brought the suit decided Monday by U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson in Richmond, urged the administration to ask the high court to directly accept an appeal, as did Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell….”

Obama is delaying the case to insure enough people become dependent upon those provisions of Obamacare which have already taken effect so the Court will then have the argument that overturning Obamacare would cause undue hardships among the people and disrupt the economy.

Justice delayed is justice denied! Obama is obstructing justice!
