(10,539 posts)I am torn about what I happens when SCOTUS rules. I am leaning on them to gut it completely b/c all we get year after year is less coverage for more money (our office just switched companies and the coverage under the cadillac policy was still a used pinto). I read that SCOTUS may delay the ruling until after the election. If so, I think they want to wipe it completely but do not wish to fire up our base before the election. Scalia and Roberts know it might get us the public option. In that case, just before I could leave a bad employer in 2013, it would be gone. As an attorney, it still feels weird speaking of SCOTUS as a partisan branch, not to mention extremely sad. Once respect for the Court is lost altogether, people will start to take matters into their own hands. Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito will be viewed by history as the beginning of the end!
