Oh that was just a shame? We’re gonna make a bad situation even worse and remain the only country that will allow you to die because you can’t afford your medical bills? What a surprise!!!
But most Republicans on here will tell you it is very wrong and immoral for the government to provide health care for the people, because it forces dependence upon the government for medical care.

Yeah, just like you strongly trust him to make Mexico provide the money to build that wall.

As I predicted all along, Obamacare has been struck down as an UNCONSTITUTIONAL disaster! Now Congress must pass a STRONG law that provides GREAT healthcare and protects pre-existing conditions. Mitch and Nancy, get it done!
It will have to be Medicare for All!

We took one step forward, and now will take two steps back.

Go ahead and cheer, all you myopic right wingers. It will come back to bite your party in the ass when all of these millions of voters realize the Republicans continue to screw everyday Americans over and over and over again without fail.
Indeed! I guess they didn't lose enough seats in the house, now they want to lose the Senate too - and they can thank the 19 Republican Governors who signed on to the lawsuit that caused this.

Nonsensical ruling, won't last on appeal.

The Roberts majority is still intact.

We're talking about socialized health insurance, not socialized medicine. Socialized medicine would mean the federal government owns the hospitals and hires the doctors and nurses.

Chemo therapy is as much as 36,000 per treatment. A typical cancer patient will start with 12 sessions. Not to mention multiple surgeries and multiple prescriptions. Pick any condition which requires extended time in a hospital, the costs will easily bankrupt the average family.



A simple car accident and the cost of putting you back together along with the time in intensive care will also bankrupt the average family.



Unfortunately some people who think it is good to eliminate the ACA, will someday find themselves in the position of potentially saving a family members life and being bankrupted for it, or just letting them die.



That is the system we had before, any major health issue and you would likely become bankrupt long before you could pay all the medical bills.



How much would you pay for 3 extra years of life? A single surgery can be $100,000. You might need several.



I don't wish what my family went thru on anyone. But unfortunately that is the world we live in.

You hear many right wingers who are enjoying the benefits of the ACA claim how much they hate Obamacare. Won't they be surprised when the realize that healthcare they like and want to keep but are now losing is Obamacare?
Ha, they probably can't remember the last time they had a headache or went to a doctor. They're attitude is who needs Obamacare?
