If the Court rules that the Obama administration must execute Obamacare as written, more people would be liberated from its coercive individual mandate than would lose a subsidy, while millions more would be freed from its employer mandate that effectively caps their hours at 29 a week.

As filings convey, President Obama’s insurance-company allies are hiking premiums because Obamacare’s mandates have attracted an unhealthy mix of people and sent coverage costs’ soaring even more than expected, while insurers’ handouts are phasing out, and Congress stopped the insurer bailout.

One of the many virtues of a well-conceived conservative alternative is that it would replace Obamacare’s byzantine complexity with refreshing simplicity.

The Supreme Court’s decision in King v. Burwell makes clear that the nation-defining task of repealing Obamacare falls to the political branches—and provides a time for choosing for the Republican Party.

Thanks to the coercive, top-down approach to health care championed by the Obama administration and its congressional allies, large numbers of doctors are abandoning private practice and in many cases the profession of medicine altogether.

Essentially all of Obamacare’s exchange subsidies go to the near-poor and near-elderly—while the middle class and young just get the tab—so it’s hardly surprising that Obamacare’s enrollment is skewing heavily toward the older and poorer.

If Republicans respond to a win in King v. Burwell by negotiating “fixes” to Obamacare in exchange for turning its subsidies back on, they will be handing President Obama a twofer.

A win in King v. Burwell would give Republicans a great opportunity to propose repealing and replacing essentially all of Obamacare in 37 states, but doing so would require some political courage.

Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul appear to be working together to block Sen. David Vitter’s efforts to stop Congress’s Obamacare fraud, at the expense of taxpayers and the rule of law.

A study indicates insurers have kept their Obamacare premiums artificially low as they have expected to be bailed out by taxpayers—so taxpayers dodged a bullet when the cromnibus stopped the bailout, and the true and honest cost of Obamacare’s coercive mandates will more likely be felt going forward.

President Obama claimed Obamacare was needed to reduce E.R. use and costs—but Obamacare has mostly dumped the previously uninsured into Medicaid, these new Medicaid beneficiaries get their care covered in the E.R. but often can’t get in to see primary-care doctors, and E.R. use has actually risen.

Violating its own law, Congress is refusing to live under Obamacare even though it required itself to do so when it passed the legislation, and Sen. Vitter is calling his fellow members to account for this lawlessness.

The 2017 Project’s executive director, Jeff Anderson, testifies that King v. Burwell provides a welcome opportunity for Congress to give states an off-ramp from Obamacare that leads to the genuine alternative Americans have been craving for years.

In addition to consolidating power and money in Washington, Obamacare is also consolidating power and money in big hospital conglomerates at the expense of independent hospitals and private-practice doctors—and it must be repealed.
