Obamacare Constitutional? Can you really be that dumb?If the founders were told: -You must have healthcare -You’ll have to pay for those who cant. No doubt there would be a second revolution.

Yeah I am not paying 350$ a month for an HMO plan with a $10k deductible. All I’m doing is subsidizing everyone else.

Has anybody told Obama yet?

Always walking in a dog park.

He’s happy people don’t have health care

Recent HHS report outlines the Republican plan supports more competition and choice. Reality is Consolidation continues, co-pays go up, limited networks, and unregulated junk health insurance plans. No new ideas, no workable solution.

Great news for the wealthy in America. For the rest of us, not so much.

It's the first of many states to reject this horrible idea.

If this ruling holds, the REPUBLICANS will own healthcare. Something they have used to rally their base, yet have NEVER offered ACTUAL LEGISLATION IN WRITING to demonstrate how the “republican” plan would be implemented nor exactly how it would work. SMH ostrichrepublicans

Of course Republicans are mostly quiet. They are the dog who caught the bus. They will have to come up with a new plan, in a short amount of time. And they have had a decade to do so....and are still without a plan.

Republicsns own this just like they own Trump

Unless you are one of the unfortunate persons with a preexisting condition. realDonaldTrump you are a horrible human being.

Good luck, motherf*ckers.

Love the sky is falling comments. What most of you don’t probably know or realize...Obamacare from the beginning was designed to fail, in hope that you would all then demand single payer. You’re falling right in line, like good subjects (dependents) should.

Report the truth. Republicans knowingly gave Americans “the finger”. They don’t care if you don’t have health care. They have a 10 year track record of not caring.

As far as I know, most folks who put repubs in office just wanted Obamacare gone. Replacing was just something talked about because Obamacare destroyed the pre-existing structure. Step 1 should be putting congress in the same boat as everyone else RE: healthcare plans.

The U.S really doing it’s best to remain the only first world country where people go bankrupt due to medical bills.

It's a no-brainer that's it unconstitutional. How can to government force you to spend your money on insurance?

Looking forward to the superior universal healthcare promised during campaign.

A prez who hails a ruling that seeks to heap misery and even death on millions of people he is responsible for. Twisted and cruel.

They were mostly quiet b/c they knew it was coming. It was part & parcel of their tax bill. They knew full well they couldn't undo ACA w/o something as sly as this. But it's not over. There will be appeals filed for this in every circuit.

Funny how quiet Republicans are—they had plenty to say about how they were going to protect healthcare while they were running for office just a little over a month ago.

So if Obama care was found unconstitutional, healthcare for all is for sure unconstitutional.

So apparently, so-called 'Christians' believe that it's OK for everyone to own guns...just not to have affordable healthcare insurance in case you're shot...?

Judge Who Invalidated Obamacare Has Been A 'Go-To Judge' For Republicans, Critics SayCourt watchers weren't shocked when Reed O'Connor, a U.S. district judge in Texas, ruled the Affordable Care Act invalid. Critics say he usually sides with Republicans on ideological cases. Of course!!! Crooket texan You should be clear about what the Obama directive said about transgender students in your tweet. Saying they were 'protected' insinuates that their lives/well-being was at risk, not the case. The Obama directive allowed them to choose which bathroom to use. Just another GOP crook.

Health-care stocks plunge after federal judge rules Obamacare unconstitutionalU.S. District Court Judge Reed O'Connor of Texas argued that the Affordable Care Act can not stand on its own since Congress last December repealed the individual mandate, which imposed a tax penalty on consumers who went uninsured. ObamaCare was Corporatism. The government used to cost-share from federal funds till you paid off. Obamacare made you pay ALL THE TIME... to insurance companies. Ps. Obama KNEW the GOP would kill it, and leave you with nothing. You'll BEG for corporations to control your life. Where can I get AmazonCare delivered? I did see this on the exchange. I don’t think it is a bad thing though. Artificially stimulated demand is a bad thing

U.S. healthcare stocks drop after judge rules Obamacare unconstitutionalShares of U.S. health insurers, hospitals and healthcare companies fell on Monda... I hate how people are attacking my Obama all the time. That's awesome. Those big insurance and big Pharma companies were relying on favors of more money from a highly unaffordable tax. As much as they dropped when Obamacare was enacted? Cause stock travels up and down are a complete mystery.

Judge rules Obamacare unconstitutionalA federal judge in Texas threw the health coverage of some 20 million Americans in limbo late Friday by ruling Obamacare must be scrapped because Congress struck the penalty for failing to obtain insurance coverage. I mean, I'm all for fixing our healthcare and making it available to everyone. But Obama care IS unconstitutional unless you argue that the government has the right to tax its citizens, and Obama said a million times that it's not a tax. That's just a legal reality. Dopeeeeeee right after i sign up i fucking love these people 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 BarackObama
