I guess I have a hard time understanding why they would rule it constitutional, but then rule it can't be subsidized (unless Roberts wants to do this over again). That would fit how this court reasons, though, especially when Kennedy is at the helm, but it just doesn't make sense.

At this point I wouldn't mind keeping some basic provisions of the ACA, like ending pre-existing conditions and some of the caps that applied, but the bulk of it no one was willing or able to work up a reasonable way to fund, so if it gets tossed I guess worse things could happen. We need something of a universal option, but we're not going to get it anytime soon. My outlook on this issue is pretty pessimistic.
