BREAKING NEWS: Supreme Court has agreed to hear legal challenges to Obama health care law
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court says it will hear arguments over President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, setting up an election-year showdown over the White House's main domestic achievement.
The justices disclosed they would take the case on Monday. That means arguments could come in March, giving them plenty of time to make a decision in late June, just over four months before Election Day.
The health care case could be the court's most significant and political undertaking since the 5-4 decision in Bush v. Gore nearly 11 years ago that effectively sealed George W. Bush's 2000 presidential election victory.
Republicans have called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act unconstitutional since before Obama signed it into law in March 2010. But federal appeals courts have been split on their assessment.
Good... One way or the other it's time for this to be settled. It's been upheld more than it's been rejected. Obviously, I hope it gets approved. (Hey, if corporations can be "people", then we should have those "people (corporations)" be forced to cover pre-existing conditions.

Er... maybe because that either has nothing to do with neither. Given... corporations can be people... OK... how does that equate that they need to be forced to cover anything? Then how come they can't be forced into giving their employees housing? Then how come they can't be forced into giving their employees transportation. Then how come they can't be forced into giving their employees food? Your premise makes no sense at all and you can't show me the connection or the logic.

Yes let's hope it gets approved! ONly 4.5 million have lost thier health insurance due to Obamascare. Maybe if we keep it, another 4 or 5 million Americans can lose their health insurance before Obama leaves! Great idea!! :bash :bash Liberals are so blinded by their partisan ideas that they really don't care about the facts or the people effected by their irresponsible actions!
Throughout the Obamacare debate, President Obama repeatedly promised, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.” Now, Gallup reports that from the first quarter of 2010 (when Obama signed Obamacare into law) to the third quarter of this year, 2 percent of American adults lost their employer sponsored health insurance. In other words, about 4.5 million Americans lost their employer-sponsored insurance over a span of just 18 months.
This is not what the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had predicted would happen. Rather, the CBO had predicted that Obamacare would increase the number of people with employer-sponsored insurance by now. It had predicted that, under Obamacare, 6 million more Americans would have employer-sponsored insurance in 2011 than in 2010 (see table 4, which shows the CBO’s projected increase of 3 million under (pre-Obamacare) current law and an additional 3 million under Obamacare). So the CBO’s rosy projections for Obamacare (and even these paint a frightening picture) are already proving false.

I have a family member with Cerebral Palsy and she found that she was better off before this new law. Yes, she is now guaranteed coverage, but she can't afford it now. Before she was guaranteed this coverage, she could get it and afford it. I sincerely hope the Supremes strike down this travesty.

Even though millions are worse off and losing insurance and costs are so much higher? That is Liberal logic for you. There isn't any! I sure hope they don't!
The Feds will offer to sell insurance to cover the people who currently don't have any. And the taxpayer will subsidize these plans.
Medicare for everyone!
Republicans pushing the issue? Might have been a bad strategy. If they take the Presidency and Senate next year, they mght have been able to load up the Court with guys to the right of Scalia.

Scalia and Thomas dine with healthcare law challengers as court takes case
The day the Supreme Court gathered behind closed doors to consider the politically divisive question of whether it would hear a challenge to President Obama’s healthcare law, two of its justices, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, were feted at a dinner sponsored by the law firm that will argue the case before the high court.
The occasion was last Thursday, when all nine justices met for a conference to pore over the petitions for review. One of the cases at issue was a suit brought by 26 states challenging the sweeping healthcare overhaul passed by Congress last year, a law that has been a rallying cry for conservative activists nationwide.
Clement’s law firm, Bancroft PLLC, was one of almost two dozen firms that helped sponsor the annual dinner of the Federalist Society, a longstanding group dedicated to advocating conservative legal principles. Another firm that sponsored the dinner, Jones Day, represents one of the trade associations that challenged the law, the National Federation of Independent Business.
Another sponsor was pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc, which has an enormous financial stake in the outcome of the litigation. The dinner was held at a Washington hotel hours after the court's conference over the case. In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate’s top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law.
The featured guests at the dinner? Scalia and Thomas.
The Feds will offer to sell insurance to cover the people who currently don't have any. And the taxpayer will subsidize these plans.
