The Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments concerning the the future of the ACA. This is the near culmination of Trump's nearly four year attack on it. Final ruling could be by the end of June 2021.

I don't know what you mean.

Really depends how the SC rules on the ACA. If they leave it be, if they blast it to nothingness, if they rule against enough parts that it becomes useless. Dunno know.
Millions and millions stand to lose insurance though if it goes away. Insurance companies are itching to drop people with preexisting conditions and others, as those people are "non viable" in the insurance companies' eyes, people that cost more in their medical bills than their monthly premiums bring in. As opposed to people like me who pay every month and almost never go to the doctor.
Do hope Kamala is able to push Biden towards medicare for all though. Regardless of how this falls.
There are many people who pay lots of insurance who almost never get sick and those without insurance don't get treated anyway, yet, when an insured person does need treatment, they still have to pay!
So my question is: Where the hell does the money go?

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a Republican bid that had been backed by former President Donald Trump's administration to invalidate Obamacare, preserving the landmark healthcare law for the third time since its 2010 enactment.
The 7-2 ruling declared that Texas and other challengers had no legal standing to file their lawsuit seeking to nullify a law, formally called the Affordable Care Act, that has enabled millions of Americans to obtain medical coverage either through public programs or private insurers. The decision was authored by liberal Justice Stephen Breyer. -snip
This will be the third time in a decade that the SC has struck down the GOP's attempt to destroy the ACA and rob millions of Americans of the healthcare they need, many due to being on the poverty level and/or having preexisting conditions. Big win for America, epic loss for the GOP.
Then why do insurances companies want it gone, so they can go back to denying people they deem financially nonviable, people with preexisting conditions, such as bad liver or back, people who will cost more than their monthly premium could ever cover. Your gaslighting has been noted, Klaw.
Until a better option is viable, it absolutely is.
eg I have a friend, lifelong diabetic, which has caused him other medical problems. At times (between jobs) he has needed to go on Obamacare in order to get the meds that keep him alive at a reasonable price. Insurance companies would love to deny him, as someone like him is a financial liability to them.
But on the subject of M4A, it's one of the reasons why I supported Bernie Sanders in the primary election. This should seriously be looked into, it looks like a better option.
I think Obamacare is good, but it could be better. This is more an executive opportunity, rather than congress bitching about it and the mainstream media causing stupid drama so weirdos on Twitter, youtube or any other social media saturate the issue to the point where it rolls on to the next election.
I think the government should pump more money into Obamacare. Ironically, this was one of Clinton’s promises in 2016.
