The Supreme Court is about to hear King v. Burwell, a case that threatens to seriously undermine Obamacare. As the plaintiffs of the case have pointed out, the text of the law doesn’t allow the federal government to provide health insurance subsidies to people who purchase insurance through the federal exchange. The authors of the law likely didn’t count on states refusing — and in some cases trying and failing — to set up their own Obamacare exchanges. Despite the plain language of the law, critics continue to dismiss this argument as absurd, even though Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber has been caught on tape saying this is how the law is supposed to work.

Naturally, the left is panicking about the possibility that the Supreme Court could end up gutting Obamacare. The arguments are starting to take on a whiff of desperation, as evidenced by this article at Mother Jones, “America’s Largest Health Care Company Tells Supreme Court That Anti-Obamacare Argument Is ‘Absurd.‘” Here’s how the piece begins: “If getting rid of Obamacare is such a good idea, why isn’t corporate America getting behind King v.
