Unless the court rules the law unconstitutional or Congress repeals it and replaces it with selected, common-sense reforms, we will wake up five years from now – just when the tax hikes that Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing to extend would expire – and find ourselves shackled with even higher financial obligations thanks to another new "partnership" with the federal government. Then those tax hikes will surely never expire.

Therefore, even with chronic budget deficits, currently at $26 billion, California cannot adjust Medi-Cal eligibility to what we can afford, thanks to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

The intended consequence of the healthcare law..Hurting those who need the most help..Thank you president Obama and Speaker Pelosi..you may have sealed the fate of Americans everywhere, which is what you want anyway..To institute a health care bill so massive that when taken away, people will still be screaming where's my healthcare..It's gone the way of the DoDo..Now we only have government health care..Your gonna love it though

This development underscores that Obamacare is likely to mean, as a Kaiser physician predicted to me, "a lot more of a lot less." The federal crackdown is also affecting California's Healthy Families Program, another state-federal partnership, which provides insurance for approximately 900,000 children in low- income families who do not qualify for Medi-Cal. According to finance officials, "Federal health care reform recently instituted a new requirement on Healthy Families that prohibits reductions in eligibility standards," again tying the state's hands in curbing our deficit.

    There is nothing unconstitutional in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The burden on states will be reduced under this law.

    Joe ,why do you constantly shill and lie for the insurance industry? Do you own a lot of stock in insurance corporations?

    Bill Pitcher..you really need to get a life...I believe you are stalking me..but since you are on my ignore list, I read nothing you say, so it is only conjecture on my part, however knowing your personality(Um excuse me).. Your lack of a personality is not my problem..It is yours..But you do seem to lack common courtesy for any viners including myself..I wonder if you even like yourself..My guess is you don't..I haven't read any of your posts..O wait a minute maybe it's because you have never posted anything..let's see you've been on the vine since 2009 and never even posted anything you really care about..It's my guess you don't really care about anything or anyone but Bill Pitcher..Of course you would like everyone to believe you care about all mankind..by attacking me and my philosophy.. I guess that's the best you can do..well we all can't be genius' . I think you should take your Avitar(The Thinker) to heart and think on the subject for a while..Maybe that's your problem..you don't...think that is..anyway, I can't say it's been a pleasure knowing you, because of all the people I have encountered on the vine..You have been the least pleasurable individual...

      The USA is the only country in the world that ALLOWS insurance corporations to make any profit selling health insurance for human beings.

      The rest of the world view this as largely a moral issue. We have some catching up to do.
