Su;preme Court upholds Obamacare; rules against GOP state led challenges

 The Supreme Court just upheld Obamacare 7-2 in spite of 18 GOP-dominated states to take it down based on a tax clause. Justice Alito and Justice Neil Gorsuch were the two no votes. Texas led the GOP initiative and the Court majority ruled Texas had no standing to bring the suit. Neil Gorsuch, a native of Colorado, is revealing himself to be one of the most right-wing reactionaries on the Court...while his native State is turning bluer and bluer. That the GOP has attempted 3 times to destroy the only ability for so many of lower-income to afford health insurance speaks volumes of their lack of caring about an essential, life and death need of citizens. They have also failed to come up with a viable alternative plan to serve those not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid or not old enough to get Medicare and those who do not have employer-provided insurance who are unable to afford insurance on the open market. . Instead, they have just tried to destroy Obama care and thankfully they have failed. https://thehill.com/.../558916-supreme-court-upholds...
