ObamaCare's Latest Legal Challenge
Can the White House simply declare that the federal government is the 51st state?


A defining feature of President Obama's second term is his willfulness in defying limits on executive power to suit his political goals, and no more so than with the Affordable Care Act. The judiciary is the last check on those abuses, and this week it will have another opportunity to vindicate the rule of law.

On Tuesday the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear one of the more important legal challenges to ObamaCare's lawless implementation. Unlike the challenge to the individual insurance mandate, Halbig v. Sebelius involves no great questions of constitutional interpretation. The plaintiffs are merely asking the judges to tell the Administration to faithfully execute the plain language of the statute that Congress passed and President Obama signed.

The Affordable Care Act—at least the version that passed in 2010—instructed the states to establish insurance exchanges, and if they didn't the Health and Human Services Department was authorized to build federal exchanges. The law says that subsidies will be available only to people who enroll "through an Exchange established by the State." The question in Halbig is whether these taxpayer subsidies can be distributed through the federal exchanges, as the Administration insists.......

This is what happens when you pass a bill using a parliamentary maneuver in the dead of the night with no input from the opposing party.

Do you want a country or a bunch of independent duchies? Just look to Canada and Quebec to see what happens when you lack strong enough central control. We could be facing another separation vote by the years end. Just what do you think that will do to our economy and currency value?

If you want to discuss medical issue, we have single payer, that is segmented single payer with each Province running its own system. That means if I have to travel to another province, I need to take out travel medical insurance if I want full coverage. In my own country.

I want a REPUBLIC. I thought you knew that. I do not want a KING Obama. I do not want a DICTATOR Obama. I want a President who does not make law like a KING or DICTATOR does.
