To Persuade The Supremes To Gut Obamacare, The GOP Needs An Alternative But Has None

"Obamacare: Where's The Train Wreck?"

Alan: The long predicted train wreck will take place only if the GOP gets its way with the Supreme Court. And that train wreck could result -- when the dust finally settles -- in the implementation of single payer healthcare. American conservatives are so drunk on ideology that they are impervious to all warning, particularly this one: "Be careful what they wish for." 

"The Hard, Central Truth Of Contemporary Conservatism"

To persuade the Supreme Court to gut Obamacare, Republicans need an alternative. "For Republicans, winning the potentially decisive vote of Chief Justice John Roberts to gut a centerpiece of Obamacare could hinge on persuading him that the health care system won't descend into chaos if he grants them their wish. So Republican leaders are eager to convey to the chief justice, who is protective of the Supreme Court's institutional legitimacy, that they will be ready to act. There's virtually no chance Republicans will have a contingency plan ready by March 4, when the justices will meet privately to decide the case, and doubtful that they'll be able to rally around a solution by the end of June, when a ruling is expected." Sahil Kapur at Talking Points Memo.
