I suspect we don't agree on much politically, but this ^^^ I agree with 100 percent.
ACA will be ruled unconstititutional because of the individual mandate, primarly because of the poor, poor staff work of the presdiden't people. Taken together, ACA has 47 percent approval. But when you separate out and poll ACA's individual elements, (i.e., allowing kids to stay on longer, pre-existing coverage, they have high 60+, 70+ plus approval)
The president allowed his opponents to define the issue (death panels, etc...) and his signature domestic accomplishment may be overturned because of it.
What that does to the general election is another matter, but with a more aggressive political campaign to inform and explain, I don't think we're on the verge of a 5-4 reversal, which is what's likely.
