What sparked that? Well, take a gander at the giddy absurdity from HuffPo journo Jonathan Cohn when the Supreme Court ruled today 6-3 that Obamacare subsidies are legal:
6-3!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

A win for sanity — but, more important, for the millions of people who won't lose health insurance.

Roberts says "it is implausible" that Congress intended for law to function without subsidies — and cites Scalia dissent in NFIB. Zing.

Roberts: "The whole point of .. federal fallback" was to create functional exchange for states that don't. Exactly.

Good grief. His feed continued with more breathless giddiness that was beyond embarrassing and beyond parody. But here is some schooling for the Obama cheerleader:
@CitizenCohn And who still cant keep doc and who didnt save $2000/yr and have worse coverage and still waiting for worse stuff to hit.

@CitizenCohn Oh yeah, they wouldn't lose their health insurance. Only the gov't subsidies paying for it. Meanwhile we did actually lose ours

And an excellent exit question for the lapdog:
@CitizenCohn Well I lost my plan that I liked. Why didn't you care when that happened?

We won’t hold our breath for an answer.
