Well, you advocates of individual rights, your day in (Supreme) Court has come. Time to see if the health insurance mandate will survive. Still, “Obamacare” - or as I like to think of it, “The Reason Your Unemployed College Graduate Kid Has Health Insurance” - will live on, even if the mandate is struck down.

But providing insurance to people with pre-existing conditions is expensive, y’all. The only way insurance companies can do it and still stay profitable is with - wait for it - an individual mandate to purchase health insurance. Oh laws no! If they can’t get the SCOTUS to play ball, the alternative, of course, is to eliminate that coverage too. We all know how much trouble it is to take things away from folks after you’ve signed it into law, however. To the party that knuckles under and eliminates the pre-existing conditions coverage, I wish you lots of luck.

There is another option, however unpalatable to the Hayekians among us, and that is what the Dems wanted in the first place: universal single payer health coverage. You mean just like every Congressman and Senator gets, Uncle Jesse? The very same, my child. That will satisfy neither the Tea Partiers nor the insurance companies. But guess which ones have more influence in politics?

We will soon find out…
