@MetricButtload Taxes are patriotic. Subsidy-repayments are Captain Freakin America

The Obamacare slow motion train wreck continues.
Even if the SCOTUS doesn’t lower the boom on Obamacare subsidies, the President’s signature piece of legislation is still going to have a lot of people feeling sick when they file their taxes. Now H&R Block is reporting that more than half of the people who received health care subsidies are going to owe money to the IRS, confirming the estimate of Jackson Hewitt.

@laurakfillault I hope a lot, but they probably got distracted by the Rudy crisis

Phil Kerpen summarized the Obamacare story thus far.
1. Ban plans people liked and force them into jacked up Obamacare plans.
2. Shift costs to taxpayers with illegal subsidies.
3. BASH SCOTUS.— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) February 24, 2015

And if the SCOTUS does strike down the subsidies, the Obama administration has no plan.

According to the Left, this is naturally the fault of Republicans

@ezraklein Ah, it's the GOP's fault the Dems rushed thru a terrible (and terribly-written) law that no one read. Funny how that works…

Some Republicans are eager to take on the burden though.

BTW- If you think I'm joking about the GOP saving ObamaCare subsidies if "we" win King, I'm not….http://t.co/oN6H5JUIpn
