ObamaCare

I agree with what Mead writes below -- see the link for an extremely good discussion of the overall problem and its complexities. No matter how the Supremes rule, the GOP deserves a large hunk of the blame for ObamaCare. Everybody knew there were big problems with, for example, pre-existing conditions and people losing their insurance if they changed jobs. Those things have needed to be fixed for a long time, and if the GOP didn't want something like ObamaCare, then they needed to propose serious, persuasive alternatives, because the current system is too flawed to survive. If ObamaCare gets tossed, they'll have one more chance; if they boot that one, it will be hard to blame the public if it gives up on the possibility of a conservative solution. In that case, we will almost certainly end up with some single-payer government system even worse than ObamaCare.
