The GOP is now a completely owned subsidiary of the corporate class. The SCOTUS is now an entirely politicised body that judges issues on the politics without giving a fuck about the law (Scalia barely even pretends anymore). The dream of the corporate class has always been to have a large body of labour so desperate that they will work for pennies and be hired and fired at will. They don't want slavery only because then they'd have to feed the slaves, so they go for wage-slavery instead and the more desperate you can be made to be, the cheaper those wages become. As far as the corporate class is concerned, imposing a societal duty of care like Medicaid is a disruption in the proper ordering of the universe, a disturbance in the way things are meant to be.
