Undoing Obamacare

Now we'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey, child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry
--Duran Duran

Interesting essay suggesting that the Supreme Court's recent King v Burwell ruling might actually be the undoing of Obamacare. Because the Roberts et al argument was that the ACA must be viewed holistically, the thesis is that the ruling will make the act easier to repeal in whole rather than in parts. Congress appears to have the votes to repeal the act via reconciliation, and a willing president in 2017 could ink the deal.
