Too many people are enrolled now, in both parties...

Even Republican states are accepting AFA funding and offering to the poor under Medicaid.

That SCOTUS thing, isn't that about "lending" people money to buy premiums? I sort of remember reading something like that in ACA details when it first was enacted after it was fixed..

Why didn't the court notice that when they had the Act in front of them for legality? Drumming up business? What part of the act did they rule on that its legality was suspect?
