Obamacare upheld as constitutional....

Those Extraterrestrials are frequently inscrutable, but at least they approach American judicial decisions with a cluster of new eyes.

What makes you think that?

Were the ETs to engage the cognito-ganglia nodules behind those eye-clusters they would realize that phrases such as "thinking with their tubers" is an example of gratuitous spudthropomorphism. It is particularly inapt when applied to Scalia and Thomas when you consider "They're Made Out of Meat":

Americans might be forced to consider where the $ has to come from for the insurance companies to have it to pay for high-priced medical care.

I doubt anything that drastic would ever happen. The important thing for them is that I'm at work on a Saturday while the socialists are home this weekend enjoying the life I'm forced to pay for.

I'd be interested to see if this has any effect on the phenomena of crowded emergency rooms being used for primary care. That system is working so well for those with bad credit who never intend to pay the bill that I doubt they'll be very happy about actually have to pay $100-$200/year for an actual insurance premium.

Thank you! I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I've had a very lovely Saturday.

I wonder, though, how many socialists do you think you're supporting with the $5,000 a year you pay in taxes?
