Despite their earlier confident pronouncements that Obamacare was on extremely sound legal footing, liberals are starting to finally realize that the medical system law which Democrats shoved through the Congress in a purely partisan fashion has a very good chance of being thrown out by the Supreme Court. That realization is giving birth to a new plan, attacking anyone who disagrees.
If the Supreme Court strikes down the individual mandate in Obamacare, the result will be higher insurance premiums and, “we’ll just blame Republicans for it,” says Democratic strategist Bob Beckel, appearing on the Wednesday edition of Fox News’ The Five.
Beckel’s statement hints at the blame-game Democrats will play if part or all of Obamacare is struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Another Democratic strategist, James Carville, has said pretty much the same thing, asserting that Republicans will “own” healthcare over the next few years if the court strikes down the individual mandate or even the whole Obamacare law, and will pay a political price for rising premiums.
“You know what the Democrats are going to say — and it is completely justified: ‘We tried, we did something, go see a 5-4 Supreme Court majority,’” Carville said on CNN Tuesday. “The public has these guys figured out. Our polls show that half think this whole thing is political. Just as a professional Democrat, there’s nothing better to me than overturning this thing 5-4 and then the Republican Party will own the health care system for the foreseeable future. And I really believe that. That is not spin.”
Carville’s statements edge closer to how the Left is preparing to respond if the court strikes down Obamacare. They will not stop at blaming Republicans for higher insurance premiums. They are going to try to demonize the Supreme Court itself as simply a tool of the heartless Right.

Democrats / (Communists, Bob) conceived of a healthcare system, many years ago, first brought to reality in the USA by the State of Massachusetts. The system was a totally unnecessary grab for control of “we the people” by a centralized government. It was brought to the USA by none other than Teddy Kennedy, that bastion of caring (Chappaquiddick) after a return from one of his many solo trips to Moscow. Gee, I wonder where he got the idea.
Obamacare as a whole is unconstitutional and the forced purchase of insurance is criminal. You will able to determine who aligns themselves with Communism and the degree to which they complain about any finding against Obamacare. The more an individual in the media or government complains, the more of a Communist they are. Incidentally, Communist MEANS anti-American.
There was a need to tweek our healthcare system, getting government out of it would have helped. But healthcare was never in a crisis. What was foist upon the American public was (like global warming) a made up crisis, a PLOT, a conspiracy to gain control of the American people “from cradle to grave”. Healthcare is not even a part of Obamacare, except as a victim – Obamacare exists only to control everything possible within healthcare. The law is about assuming the functions of insurance, not healthcare except once again healthcare will directly suffer tremendously due to the planed control of patients and physicians. Government has no place in healthcare – I say that as a physician.
It’s similar to the way they start to call names (and probably stamp their feet) like a kindergartener when they can’t come back with FACTS about how Liberals are RUINING the country (but a lot of the GOP are helping, too)
I wonder if some left wing loon is going to go ballistic if Obamacare gets struck down in it’s entirety.
