Man Celebrating Repeal Of Obamacare Finally Realizes He’s On Obamacare
Woman To FL Gov. Rick Scott: “You’re An A**hole!”
Florida Gov. Rick Scott gets an earful from one of his constituents about his actions to cut Medicaid in order to block Obamacare.
Via Raw Story:
“You cut Medicaid so I couldn’t get Obamacare,” said the woman, who identified herself as 39-year-old Cara Jennings. “You’re an a*shole. You don’t care about working people. You should be ashamed to show your face around here.”
The face-off, captured on video by a witness, took place after Scott entered a Starbucks in Gainesville. Jennings is seen shushing another woman as she assails Scott, who responds that his administration has created one million jobs.
“A million jobs? Great, who here has a great job?” Jennings asks. “Or is looking forward to finishing school? Do you really feel like you have a job coming up?”
It turns out the woman who tried to shush Jennings was the governor’s spokeswoman.
President Obama Vetoes Congress’ Attempt To Repeal ObamaCare
After more than 60 attempts, Republicans in Congress finally managed to pass legislation which would repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood.
The bill passed in the House by a vote, along party lines, of 240-181.
President Obama quickly vetoed the legislation.
From CNN:
In his veto message, Obama stressed the number of times congressional Republicans have tried to “repeal or undermine the Affordable Care Act.”
“Rather than re-fighting old political battles by once again voting to repeal basic protections that provide security for the middle class, members of Congress should be working together to grow the economy, strengthen middle-class families, and create new jobs,” Obama wrote.
“Because of the harm this bill would cause to the health and financial security of millions of Americans, it has earned my veto,” he added.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan promises to waste more of the chamber’s time by holding an override vote rather than focus on the people’s work, in spite of the fact that he lacks the votes to overcome the veto.

Cartoon Of The Day
Affordable Care Act – Five Years Later
Just a reminder. As a cancer survivor, I was well aware that no other carrier would take me if I ever wanted to leave my insurer (who I pay myself, thank you).
These four points alone are important. The law can always be tweaked to be better, but that’s been the same regarding Medicare and Social Security. The law is passed then constantly improved.
I, for one, am happy this first important step was taken.

President Obama Takes A Victory Lap After SCOTUS Ruling For Obamacare
After a 6-3 ruling in favor of Obamacare, President Obama takes a victory lap.
It should be noted that had the law been gutted by an unfavorable ruling, over 6 million Americans – primarily in red states – could have lost their health insurance.
Most red states refused to set up their own state exchanges to make health insurance plans available, telling their citizens to use the federal exchange which was the target of the SCOTUS lawsuit.
Obamacare Wins At SCOTUS
Major win for the Obama administration; Supreme Court upholds #Obamacare subsidies: http://t.co/RKGLU2WDdb #SCOTUS http://t.co/TtwcMs2vGT

The Supreme Court has upheld the Obamacare subsidies for more than 6 million Americans with a 6-3 vote in the King v. Burwell decision, handed down moments ago.
This means that individuals who get their health insurance through an exchange established by the federal government will be eligible for tax subsidies.
Six voting for Obamacare are Chief Roberts, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.
Of course, Scalia dissents.
Not only is this good news for the millions who rely on those subsidies to be able to afford health care insurance, but good news for the Republican Party, who, while demonizing the law all the way to court, would have faced the reality of being responsible for those millions losing their coverage, without having any plan in place to fix the law.
SCOTUS Adds Friday To Rulings Schedule
SCOTUSblog, my expert source for all things U.S. Supreme Court theorizes that the Obamacare ruling could happen Friday, and same-sex marriage decision could come down on Monday.
June 26th is the 12th anniversary of Lawrence v. Texas (overturning all sodomy laws), and the 2nd anniversary of Windsor v. US (requiring federal recognition of same-sex marriages).
Coincidence?
Odds are that SCOTUS will decide Obamacare this Friday and same-sex marriage next Monday.

No Same-Sex Marriage Ruling From SCOTUS Today
The court has added this coming Thursday to the calendar for releasing decisions.
Possibly the two biggest rulings of this term, same-sex marriage and Obamacare, have yet to be released.
This could well go to Monday, June 29th. SCOTUS loves to draw out the drama on big rulings.
10AM as usual.
SCOTUS will next issue opinions at 10a ET Thursday.
