There are often issues that we can consider as controversial or debatable. Dave Mielke presents one of these issues each week to give you “Something to Think About.” The topic for today is “The Real Impact of Obamacare.” The Supreme Court last week heard another important case concerning Obamacare.

The case revolves around 4 words “established by the states”. While the judges debate the intentions of Congress the literal meaning of the 4 words, the implications if the subsidies are deemed illegal and even the legal standing of the 4 plaintiffs, what has been the impact of the Affordable Care Act for individuals in this tax year? Should the practical implications of the act be addressed while the judges debate?
