Predictably, it is now fading from the headlines since the media didn't get their sexy story of the health care law decimated or struck down completely. Now it is maybe a story every other day in the back pages of the newspaper.
Had the health care law been gutted or eliminated, there would have been a deafening echo every day until the election.

(53,661 posts)I thought the attorney generals based their complaint on a rights argument, or 10th amendment as baggers interpret it. I don't see the attorney generals cases as having anything to do with business.
They're supposed to represent their states and haha, their citizens. But I think they are wrong and were wrong, because there was always an opt-out clause in the ACA, they were just being political.
In all the cases, I am guessing the SCOTUS decision destroyed all of that. Now it's up to the federal folks to strike down all the state lawmakers trying to make political points against the ACA and Obama.
Are you saying you wish these suits were still going to go forward and prevent the ACA in some states? That's been settled already, too, with health exchanges.
Since you're not giving much details, perhaps some of the people who have really been into this will come and answer your question for you.

Prediction: the media will phase out discussion of Obamacare by early next week
and move on to other issues.
And yet if most or all of the law had been overturned, we would be hearing from the echo machine (including MSNBC) non-stop through election day.
