  • If you take the SCOTUS as supreme law then you are skewing your facts. Judges are liberals and conservatives (ie they make mistakes and can be wrong).

  • No, you allow the insurance companies to offer a "caffeteria" style of plan. I pick and choose the coverage I want. And all plans will include catastrophic coverage. You'd be foolish not to get that.
