My conservative Facebook friends...
...are having collective apoplexy. It's the old "welfare queen with a Cadillac" argument all over again..."I'm not going to pay for drunks and losers to get health care for things that are their own damned fault!" The good Christian thing to do is just to let them die on the streets. Solution? Bring them to where there are no streets!!!!!
Now it's time to refine this flawed law and make it much, much better. Won't get done until after the election. Even if Romney is elected President (horrors) he won't be able to get rid of it...the Republicans have made a hell of a precedent with their 60 votes or bust to get things done in the Senate. The AHA will remain.

presumably in response to this ruling. 
And she only recently got medical insurance for the first time in I don't know how long and was all excited to get caught up on all her preventive/screening stuff and get a bunch of pre-existing medical problems taken care of (that she HAD to have omitted on her application or she would have been denied).
I'm gonna need a bigger eyesroll smilie.
It's all a vast conspiracy you see to force people to pay for health insurance and put us all under the mighty boot of all powerful evil Obama. At least that's what they're blathering on about over at Naked Capitalism.
They sound exactly like my conservative tea party/birther relatives.
Libertarian bloggers are all aghast as well.
Personally I'm entertained.
