Do you agree with the Supreme Court's decision on Obamacare?

    Only people who use expanded Medicaid benefit from this law. If you earn a living and need to buy it, it makes choice unavailable and the deductible unaffordable. Purchased policies also used to be tax deductible, but again, no more. I absolutely remember 6 years ago when Harry Reid, on video tape, said that Obamacare was designed to collapse and fail. Why wont somebody in the media go back and play that one for us? He said they designed it to fail in order to gain their desired outcome of fully socialized, single payer medicine. He said we were not ready for that and this would get us ready to accept socialism. In the mean time, we get taken to the bank. I also have read the terms and conditions and will never agree to them, sorry folks but this is a trap. My retirement plan was catastrophic coverage until Medicare kicks in. This is now illegal and unavailable to me. Sorry, but Kansas needs to fund the Medicare expansion because now, there is nothing else but the emergency rooms. And speaking of emergency rooms - tell the truth. They are packed worse than before. Costs are skyrocketing as Obamacare becomes a jobs program for the insurance industry. Good job liberals. I used to be politically neutral, but not now!

    Can you publish the total number of people voting? I know this is not a scientific poll, but users should see if it's 25 people or 250.

    Rick, I understand your point. I hadn't focused on that aspect of the court. You may be right that we need to make a change as to the "life time" appointment.

    Nancy M. I do know that (and I also know that not all justices are men), but the point I was trying to make is that I believe that it is time for the lifetime awarding of a supreme court seat by the current president needs to stop and that this should be an elected position with a term limit just like the presidency.

    Rick, It was "the old men" who voted AGAINST upholding the subsidies: Scalia, Thomas and Alito. They were outnumbered by the libs.

    I personally don't know anyone who has been helped by this law except for the people who received medicaid thru the expansion of that program. I'm glad they were helped but can't think that there could have been a better way to achieve that without upsetting the whole system. My daughter and her family could not affort health insurance before obamacare and she can't afford it now either. The plan with a premium she could afford had such a high deductible that she would end up paying for her healthcare out of pocket AND paying a high premium at the same time. Unaffordable for her family. She opted for the fine and is still uninsured. My insurance has deteriorated since this law passed too.

    WBAY - how about providing some unbiased coverage on this? Spreading the left's propaganda exaggerating how many people this helps and not including what it costs everyone who's paying for this and how this poorly written law is costing us jobs is not doing your job. If I have to watch you spew the liberal BS I'm simply going to turn you off. Do your job!!

    I'm confused. Citizens are held accountable to the letter of the law in the U.S. but the supreme court can modify a law by saying it is the "intent" of the law? It's time to retire those old men and start electing honest judges to the supreme court.

    I don't understand how people believe this insurance is "affordable" I am a single woman, 60 years old and I have to pay almost 800.00 A MONTH for health insurance (our employer stopped offering health insurance)...I make too much to be able to get help and get raped by the health insurance companies. I would be better off, quitting my job, going on welfare. I have 25.00 in savings. I have a 2,500.00 a year deductible. And they call this AFFORDABLE!!!!

    286,000 Virginians can stay insured while premiums sky rocket for those of us that already had insurance. Way to go socialist America! Distribute the wealth of those who make these laws, I'll keep my hard earned money for MY family

    Bad law and several thousand pages to prove it.
    Some are content with rationing and Kenny G is no doubt a shirker.

    Yes, it was the right thing to and thank you Mr. Preident. Many of Americans couldn't afford healthcare. This new law will now allow so many to see a doctor. It concerns me that others would try and defeat this law but offer nothing in it's place.
