Liberty University v. Obamacare
The courts can bring clarity to controversial mandates about insurance and birth control.
The U.S. Supreme Court last week resuscitated Liberty University’s case against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. The Baptist school in Lynchburg will head to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals seeking relief from two provisions of the law.
Count us among those who are glad this case will be heard. Don’t get us wrong. We think Liberty will lose and the provisions the school is challenging will remain important cornerstones of rational healthcare reform. But Liberty deserves its day in court, and this case — or another like it — could bring needed clarity and resolution to two requirements that continue to inflame passions and opposition.

I’m a bit surprised at the RT’s continued use of the word “Obamacare”. It is a pejorative term for the Affordable Care Act used by the Act’s detractors and now apparently by some lax writers. It’s been around long enough that we don’t need the “also known as…”.
Actually it’s far better known as “Obamacare”, as well it should be.
When it’s in full effect, for better or worse, then everyone will know without a doubt which President, party and voters are responsible for it. Who to credit if it’s a success…or (more likely) who to blame when proves to be a failure.
If you would do your homework and read into this so called Obamacare, you will find it has little to do with care and much more to do with the governments insatiable appetite to TAX the WORKING class. This way they can continue to pay off the WILL NOT WORKing class.
@3 Chris, by the will-not-work class, you do mean the rich who don’t have to work right?
