In papers quietly filed with the Supreme Court last week, Mr. Obama warned — once again — that seniors would be dumped into the streets if the court overturns Obamacare. Such a move by the court, his lawyers warned, would cause “extraordinary disruption” in Medicare payments...
...Ironically, the truth is that it is always Mr. Obama steadying Granny in a wheelchair on the precipice of long, steep, marble steps and threatening to let go if he doesn’t get his way.

“When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex. Only whit man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that.” Indian Chief Two Eagles
Maybe the Democrats should have been worried about the “extraordinary disruption” to Medicare their unconstitutional bill would create before passing it to begin with. It's not the court's fault that overturning unconstitutional legislation might result in an “extraordinary disruption” to Medicare - that responsibility falls on the Congress and the Executive which created an unconstitutional law.

It ain't unconstitutional till the Supreme Court says it is.
Whether or not seniors are dumped into the streets has nothing to do with the constitutionality of the law that was passed. If they end up being dumped into the streets because the law is unconstitutional, that responsibility lies at the feet of the Congress and the Executive, not SCOTUS. The job of SCOTUS is to decide whether or not a law is constitutional, not decide the constitutionality of laws based on the outcome their ruling. When SCOTUS tosses out ACA in part or (hopefully) in full, as is expected to happen at this point, what happens to Medicare payments as a result of that ruling is the responsibility of those who tried to pass an unconstitutional law, not the body that properly ruled it to be unconstitutional.
The Constitution never delegated to Congress or the Executive the power to compel participation in commerce chosen by the government of the United States - it really is just that simple. Doesn't matter how beneficial some might think having them exercise such a non-existent power might be, the power was never delegated to it for it to exercise, even if that means that seniors get dumped into the streets as a result of the Medicare payments experiencing an “extraordinary disruption” because that power was never delegated to the United States. It is not the fault of SCOTUS that the power to compel participation in commerce chosen by the United States wasn't delegated to the United States by the Constitution.
Well now, this is going to be hard to cope with... the kids are trying to come back home to live with Mom and Dad but Mom and Dad suddenly won't have anywhere to live. Where will they go? The nearest Obamaville?
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
