You might be surprised by what SCOTUS does Elwood. In any event, I anticipate GOP control of both House and Senate and very possibly the WH. I’ll be doing plenty of venting then, about health care and lots of other stuff.

You should save your breath John.

After the Supremes find Obamacare unconstitutional you’ll really need to vent.

So, let’s see. If you have employer-sponsored, taxpayer subsidized insurance, you can have a dozen serious pre-existing conditions, the law protects you from being denied coverage or having it rescinded or paying more for it. If you’re 60, you get coverage for the same rate as a 20-year old. But if you buy insurance on your own because you are self-employed or don’t have access to an employer plan, you can be denied coverage or charged triple the advertised premium for something as minor as having once used prescription medicine for toenail fungus (I kid you not), or charged more based on age, or have your policy retroactively rescinded if you develop a condition that starts costing the insurer money. And, unlike employer insurance, you pay for it with after tax dollars. If you don’t have insurance, either because you choose not to have it, or nobody will sell it to you, your visit to the ER will cost you up to 5 times what the hospital would be paid by an insurance company for the same services. Does all that sound like “equal rights” to you. First and foremost, what you folks like to call “ObamaCare” was designed to restructure the dysfunctional individual health insurance market via the insurance exchanges and to give people who depend on that market some of the same protections as people with employer sponsored insurance have. The preamble to the Constitution says, “…in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice…and “promote the general Welfare…”

The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not provide equal things!
