Title: Healthcare Reform Bracketology
Post by: merithyn on June 15, 2012, 09:50:03 AM
As some of you know, I work for a health insurance company. Specifically, I work with the applications by those with pre-existing conditions that are considered "uninsurable". As of right now, the Healthcare Reform Bill provides federal money to our insurance company to help these people get insurance. Without that bill, my company wouldn't be able to afford to cover these people, and they will have little chance of obtaining any kind of medical insurance whatsoever from anyone. Not a political statement, but rather a statement of fact.

Anyway, my team had a meeting today about how we're going to handle the upcoming decision by the Supreme Court. We have to have several different responses ready because, well, we have no idea what the SC is going to do, and anything they do is going to create fall-out for everyone one way or another. In other words, the phones will be ringing and people are going to be scared.

While in the meeting, the director mentioned that she'd gotten a bracketology of the Healthcare Reform Bill and how different decisions and election results could possibly affect people, and I thought I'd share it here to get your brilliant opinions on all of it. http://www.healthreformbracketology.com/ (http://www.healthreformbracketology.com/)

What is the general consensus here on what the USSC will do, what will their justifications be, and how do you think will it impact the American population?

The Nazi will slap the bitch around and no decision will be made.

The USSC is nothing more then another tool of the Republican ideology.

Agreed.  Republican politicians will win, I will win $50 from Yi, and Americans will lose (altough half of them will be happy about it).
