I hope you remember and learned a lesson Ron. When you and your ilk got all worked up about Trump's judges, I told you that your irrationally beloved OBAMAcare was safe, and I was right. Ha.

The Republicans had no reason to challenge The Affordable Care Act in the first place.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has dismissed a challenge to the Obama era health care law, preserving insurance coverage for millions of Americans.
The justices, by a 7-2 vote, left the entire law intact Thursday in ruling that Texas, other Republican-led states and two individuals had no right to bring their lawsuit in federal court.
The law’s major provisions include protections for people with pre-existing health conditions, a range of no-cost preventive services and the expansion of the Medicaid program that insures lower-income people, including those who work in jobs that don’t pay much or provide health insurance.
Also left in place is the law’s now-toothless requirement that people have health insurance or pay a penalty. Congress rendered that provision irrelevant in 2017 when it reduced the penalty to zero.
The elimination of the penalty had become the hook that Texas and other Republican-led states, as well as the Trump administration, used to attack the entire law. They argued that without the mandate, a pillar of the law when it was passed in 2010, the rest of the law should fall, too.

Now that Obamacare has been SAVED, all you need to do is figure out how all those god-given preconditions get paid for.

Steve, since Nov 1, 2016 —this is how Obamacare as been Paid For... The health reform law known as Obamacare ( officially the Affordable Care Act) is paid for with a combination of cuts in government spending and new revenue ...
That's The Law of This Land and that is a FACT.

It's not a fact Ron. It was supposed to use the Individual Mandate to pay for itself.
