Re: Obama’s ‘Unprecedented’ Remarks: Is the President Running Against the Supreme Cou
How does the law survive without the main way to pay for it?....If they only shoot down the mandate, which I would think the whole law has to go due to no severability clause, then repeal will be a necessity due to the staggering cost, not paid for in it.

only the mandate will get shot down if anything is. And that can easily be a positive thing for Obama since he never wanted it.

WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) — Contrary to what some may believe, President Barack Obama’s health care law would not automatically collapse if the Supreme Court strikes down the unpopular requirement that most Americans carry medical insurance or face a penalty.
The overhaul could still lurch ahead without that core requirement, experts say. But it would be more like a clunky collection of parts than a coherent whole.
That would make an already complicated law a lot harder to carry out, risking repercussions for a U.S. health care system widely seen as wasteful, unaffordable and unable to deliver consistently high quality.
Premiums could jump for people buying coverage individually, and for small businesses. That’s because other provisions of the law require insurance companies to accept people with health problems, and limit the premiums that can be charged to older adults.
Sooner or later, the dilemma of the nation’s 50 million uninsured would land back on the doorstep of Congress.
