Since we’re on the topic of “intentions,” it didn’t look like the “intention” of the Democratic Party to pass a massive new entitlement when the president told the American people the law wouldn’t “add a dime” to the deficit and it would lower the average family’s healthcare costs by $2,500 a year. It didn’t look like the “intention” of the Congress to kick people off the insurance plans that they liked, but that happened nonetheless. And it didn’t look like the “intention” of the law when people started losing the doctors that they liked. All those things happened, nonetheless, because our nation’s laws aren’t based on “intentions,” they are based on their text and plain meaning. It looks like the Congress flat-out botched the section on federal subsidies. The White House can make excuses based on “intentions,” but why should Americans take its word for it? One more thing about “intentions” – it was the “intention” of the Founding Fathers, who established a Congress and a Presidency to begin with, that bills be passed with full deliberation in the public forum, by Congressional members who have actually read the bill and know “what’s in it,” and are then enforced by a president who follows the rule of law. (AMEN!) None of those things apply here, so spare the American people about the “intentions” of the Congress or the President. Just follow the law. ijreview/2014/07/159736-white-house-responds-court-ruling-obamacare-way-make-3-year-old-proud/
