Two Republican Judges Gut Obamacare, Threatening Health Care For Millions

It's just not Republican if it's not punitive!

Two Republican judges on the D.C. Circuit Court have ruled that the equivalent of a typo is enough to strip health care subsidies from up to five million people, dealing what would be a death blow to the Affordable Care Act if the decision is allowed to stand. The one Democrat on the panel dissented.

that all middle-class people (who make up the vast majority of us) would continue to earn less
and pay more to stay alive and healthy. And this includes themselves. What percentage of
citizens don't even know what they are voting for???

subsidies are an incentive to states
to set up exchanges.

when a state sets up an exchange,
is an implied approval of the PPACA
