If Republicans win lawsuit to destroy Obamacare, they plan to reinstate Obamacare by another name, reports @byronyork http://t.co/zCKeGWLTWv

What that means is Republicans are going to find a way to continue paying subsidies to the estimated 7.5 million Americans who receive taxpayer-funded help to pay their insurance premiums through the federal Obamacare exchange.

The prospect of seeing those people lose their subsidies — even though some have received them for a short period of time, and even though Obamacare has imposed burdensome costs on many other Americans — is just too much for Republican lawmakers to risk.

So if you’re just going to pay the subsidies anyway, what the fuck has been the goddamn point of almost 60 attempts to repeal the law? Why bother with lawsuits or any of it?

Assholes.
