Will America Accept the Rule of Law?

I will be interested to see how many people (the pro-Obamacare community) get up in arms over this decision. I mean, heck, the Fourth circuit court is already in opposition.  What decision?  Well, the US Court of Appeals, DC Circuit has ruled that, by law, the US Government can only subsidize healthcare for those signed up under State-established healthcare exchanges.  If a state (up to 36 of them, depending on how you count) has decided to not create a health insurance exchange, and the Federal government has extended their exchange over that state’s citizens, then–by law–the feds cannot subsidize those policies.

This to me is a litmus test to rationality. One can be upset that the law was written the way it was, or that states chose to not participate. But if one gets upset at the court, for interpreting the law then we have a more serious, fundamental, and perhaps fatal flaw in our society. (interpretation being a broad term here since the court points out the wording in the law is “unabiguous” — “unambiguously restricts the Section 36B subsidy to insurance purchased on Exchanges established by the State.”)
