Hurrah for SCOTUS-Care

By a vote of 6 to 3, the ruling of The Court

On the role of subsidies in states that don't support

Health care for their citizens has found the law's intent

Was providing coverage...  That it's what Congress meant.

The Chief Justice read the findings, noting that the law

Had some unclear language but deciding that the flaw

Didn't justify destroying the whole ACA,

Which would happen if they took the subsidies away.

From the bench, Scalia read a blistering dissent,

Said that states which opted not to have the money sent

Were within their rights and that the ruling wasn't fair,

That we should rename the law and call it SCOTUS-Care.

Maybe that's a good idea...  If we just change the name,

Keeping the protections and provisions all the same,

Making sure that patients don't get told to take a hike,

They can call the health care system anything they like.

Yesterday the Justices heard arguments about

Language putting subsidies for health care in some doubt

For states that don't have a health care system of their own,

Because local politicians say they won't condone

Health care that's affordable. (They think it's Socialist.)

Thus they've launched another last ditch effort to resist

Implementing ACA by gutting subsidies;

Which leaves millions who can't pay their high insurance fees.

We won't know 'til June which way the Court is gonna rule...

If they'll strip away Obamacare's most vital tool.

I sure wish Republicans spent even half the time

Fixing health care as they've spent on making it a crime.
