(39,909 posts)When the Affordable Care Act went TO the Supreme Court,
it contained a MANDATE for ALL states to expand their medicaid Coverage.
When the Affordable Care Act came OUT of the Supreme Court,
it contain NO SUCH MANDATE.
They very carefully stated that if some states wanted to expand Medicaid, they could do so,
but they did not have to.
The Supreme Court Struck Down the Mandate to Expand Medicaid.
Period!
You can use all the twisted and tortured il-logic you want to.
You can continue to Deny Reality and insist that the Mandate to Expand medicaid was NOT struck down in your frantic and embarrassing attempts to make the False appear True,
but you can NOT righteously declare VICTORY for something that hasn't happened,
and may not happen.
That is WHY we have to suit up and play the game.
Things are so much simpler in ProSense World.
