    If he's having it in New York, he's not going to the best place, just the nearest decent one.

    The Cleveland Clinic is the highest rated cardiac centre in the US.

    You'd think when you can afford to go where you like, you'd at least do your fucking homework.

    Obamacare Survives Again, Supreme Court Rejects Latest GOP Lawsuit

    The Supreme Court has rejected the latest constitutional challenge to the Affordable Care Act, which means that 31 million Americans won’t lose their health insurance and protections for people with preexisting conditions won’t go away.

    Yes, Obamacare has survived again.

    This time, the threat was a lawsuit that 20 state Republican officials originally filed in 2018 and that the Trump administration officially supported in court, even though the federal government almost always defends statutes in such litigation.

    The ruling was 7-2, with Justice Stephen Breyer writing the opinion. The court rejected the lawsuit based on “standing,” meaning the plaintiffs could not show an injury that required a ruling on the merits.

    At the heart of the GOP lawsuit was an argument that former President Donald Trump and the Republican Congress had inadvertently created a fatal constitutional flaw in the law when, in 2017, they reduced the penalty for not carrying insurance, known as the “individual mandate,” to zero.

    Because they had changed the dollar value of the mandate but not its authorizing language, and because a previous Supreme Court ruling had upheld the mandate only as a tax, the GOP lawsuit claimed that the provision had lost its justification on the theory that a penalty of zero dollars can’t really be a tax.

    As a result, the lawsuit said, the entire law had to come off the books. Had the Supreme Court agreed, it would have wreaked havoc on the health care system, which has adapted itself to the law’s far-reaching rules and funding arrangements.

    • They have failed to show that they have standing to attack as unconstitutional the Act’s minimum essential coverage provision. Therefore, we reverse the Fifth Circuit’s judgment in respect to standing, vacate the judgment, and remand the case with instructions to dismiss.


    It is so ordered.: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinion...9-840_6jfm.pdf

    The one thing that i found so interestingly curious about this form of health care is that it does not apply to government employees, they all get employer funded health care? or are they on the AHCA?
