Obamacare can fail from four small words - "established by the state."
How we could come to this point is really quite unbelievable but here is the crux of the problem. The tax-credit subsidiaries which were offered under the health care law would only be applied to the 16 states that have their own exchanges.
All that is needed is for a majority of the justices to agree that based on these four words found by a lawyer Thomas M Cristina in Greenville, South Carolina that the states not having the exchanges have no foundation to stand on and Obamacare would go into a death spiral.
According to the Obama administration there would be no plans to save Obamacare once the justices reached their conclusion and over 6 million people would loose there health insurance.
The decision will not be know until further in the spring or early summer.
