Obamacare Going Down?

[Lemur]

Whether it's a good bill or not (I think not) isn't at issue here. Whether we need single-payer or market based healthcare is also not at issue. The issue is does the federal government have the authority to compel people to buy health insurance?

I think it's kind of strange to walk into this conversation and tell everyone what the issue is or isn't. Nor do I see how it's illegitimate to discuss the long-term ramifications if the law gets struck down.

The USA's system of healthcare is problematic, as most anyone would agree. The Obama administration tried to apply a fix, which now looks to be nullified. All we're hearing from the GOP is the same small-ball. Surely, beyond the legal question of the Commerce Clause, there is a legitimate conversation to be had about what we do next, yes? I do believe that was posited as the central question of my OP, yes?
