However his was a dissent which means that the majority thinks his reading of the law was twisting it in order to back up a company's right to fire someone for saving their own life.

The reverse is also true. The real solution is the law being fixed by the legislature, unless that was the outcome they desired. I mean Congress has amended or passed new laws because they didn't like what occur as a result of the way the law was currently written and the courts ruled. For some reason I feel like this is how the federal torts claims act (or something similarly named) came into being.

Office Pig posted:The House GOP apparently has a solution to their 'problem' bill Were they legally required to offer any of this stuff before Obamacare? Surely, our noble medical insurance industry wouldn't stop offering something that they had always offered just because they were now not legally obligated to do so!  I honestly can't understand if this is a poison pill, and even if it is, does it even matter to these fucks? I am really embarrassed that I was a republican 10 years ago. I'd like to think they weren't this cartoonishly evil back then, but I don't even know anymore.

No they were not legally required to and most people's "affordable" plans that they pine for in 2009 and earlier had next to no coverage besides catastrophic and even then there were laughable lifetime caps of poo poo like 25k.

This is close to what I've used before, but I'm not sure if even that is enough to describe the inflation and self-perpetuation of unchecked ego that is Trump and the right-wing media. This is essentially what state-run media looks like when taken to its ultimate conclusion.

Here's a fun game, ask someone in a political or leadership position what the plan for victory is overseas and see what kind of goddamn dick look they get on their face. I used to joke about the exit strategy for Germany and Japan but I'm worried I'd get an actual answer today.
