The people expecting a free ride will be upset... but not enough to change the balance of anything. I expect those independents to be more like the Perot independents of 1992 and to be more concerned about deficits and economic growth than the creation of a new entitlement. The politicians won't care... they will continue spending other peoples money to keep their special interests satisfied. Business as usual. Those enjoying the benefits of Obamacare just aren't numerous enough to establish themselves as a special interest.

It would be interesting to see what plans Romney and the Republican party come up with if the Supreme Court strikes down Obamacare. There are many who are already enjoying the benefits of Obamacare and many looking forward to deriving the benefits from the pre-existing clause of Obamacare. People are going to hold the Republicans' feet to the fire then. The independents will be watching if the Republicans are ready to act responsibly for the "common good" or they going to reinforce their existing image that they stand for only the rich and "corporate benefits and welfare" which include the insurance industry. The Rs will do nothing.........neither the people nor the independents are their masters. To whit, see the responses you are getting from mel.
