*** SCOTUS and "Obamacare" and those Republican AGs

I have no clue how the collection of lawyer politicians on the SCOTUS will decide on so-called Obama-care; but it seems that an awful lot of selective ire is involved.

Supreme Court Justices worrying about unlimited government powers they seem to see embedded in mandatory coverage never seemed worried about the draft or selective service laws that required not only buying insurance, but becoming a slave of the government.  Requiring parasites and the unlucky needy using medical services without paying for them to buy insurance is insignificant in comparison.  It is theft from all of us who do carry insurance or pay otherwise.

The apparent problems with this insurance program would be solved if medicare and medicaid were estended to all.  The problems now being so oh, so seriously considered result because of Democrats and Obama caving to retrograde GOP opposition and their support for the $20 million per year executives of the "non-profit" health care insurance ripoffs and care executives.  Perhaps the Republicans should be a bit concerned about health care systems using money coming from government medicare and medicade being used to buy useless puffery ads and stadium billboards and names and sports tournaments..

I do wonder about the real reason behind state AGs (almost all Republicans?) jumping on this backward rolling bandwagon.  The same people spend a lot of time opposing and fighting theft often of penny-ante stuff resulting in huge fines or long jail and prison terms, but appear now to support the theft of hundreds of millions of dollars of medical services by those irresponsible enough to not have medical insurance soon  only needed because of the GOP congress retrograde partisan Neanderthals  pandering to the insurance industry.

If these Republican AGs carry this to the logical end of their idea, they should be unanimously and openly  in support of letting the uninsured die on the steps of the clinic and hospital emergency services.  It is fundamentally dishonest of them to present only half of their retrograde partisan mythology..  It would tie right in with cremating the indigent which seems to be the latest Republican plan to save money.

It is not just sitting legislators who make life, livliehood and limb unsafe.

You are very good at coining a wonderfully descriptive phrase. In this post I especially like:
"collection of lawyer politicians on the SCOTUS"

and

"parasites and the unlucky needy"
That's a much better descriptor than the slurs that blanket every single person in need of government help through no fault of their own. There, see how much more concise and colorful your 5 words are?!

Everything they are arguing now points straight toward the sense and legality of simple medicare for all. We'll have to see how that "retrograde species of humanity" attempts to spin their way out of that obvious conclusion.

Thanks Doug.;

[[Note from Doug-- Thanks for the compliment. Sometimes my tongue is a bit too tinged with acid. My wife works at local hospital. Privacy rules prevent her from telling me anything, but I know that their system like probably all medical systems gets a mixture of patients and clients...some with the best insurance, some with half-good insurance, and some with no insurance, but willing to pay their bills over time no matter how hard that is for them. There are also those who have no insurance, and no intention of ever paying for anything. Our insurance and those who pay cash are victimized by those who are irresponsible, and by the governments which require care for everybody, but make no provision for paying for everyone. My guess is the Supreme Court justices have no experience with ever having difficulty paying for medical coverage just as those who are in Congress can get the best of care for next to nothing.-- ]]]]

I am all for National Healthcare. That being said I also think that the Supreme Court Justices should be appointed for a certain number of years, not life.
