Today marks the final argument at the Supreme Court, during which the Court will focus on Medicaid expansion, states rights, and severability.

Under ObamaCare, some states will be required to expand Medicaid coverage as much as 50 percent. The second issue will be whether the Court can sever the individual mandate from ObamaCare, while allowing the rest of the law to remain in effect.

While you can never be sure of the direction of the Justices based solely on oral argument, it appeared that a majority of Justices yesterday were opposed to the individual mandate. On the other side, Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan were clearly in favor of the mandate and are willing to give the government shockingly expansive power. While we are pleased with the oral argument, I don’t think anyone can be absolutely sure which way a majority of Justices will vote. We encourage you to keep this case in your prayer today.

There are three legs to ObamaCare: (1) coverage for pre-existing conditions, (2) elimination of community rating, and (3) individual and employer mandates. The first two legs were tried by seven states and all seven failed, resulting in the repeal of their laws because of the economic ruin they caused to insurance carriers. If the mandate is struck down and the law is allowed to remain in effect, the result will be a collapse of the private insurance industry.
