After #SCOTUS arguments today on severability, my confidence is increased that if individual mandate goes down, the whole thing goes down.

Supreme Court considers whether to let parts of health care law stand
The Supreme Court concluded a marathon public debate on health care Wednesday with justices signaling an ideological divide that could topple some or all of the the sweeping reform bill championed by President Barack Obama.
Toobin: Individual mandate seems ‘doomed’
Yesterday’s “train wreck” for the Obama administration may have become a “plane wreck,” according to CNN’s legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin.
Toobin, reporting on the steps of the Supreme Court, said Wednesday that it looked like the Supreme Court was ready to strike down the individual mandate provision of President Obama’s signature health care law — and was struggling with whether to strike the whole law.
Looking Ahead
Tomorrow, Senator Lee will attend the American Business Conference and meet with representatives of Winco, the National Mining Association, Kennecott, and the National Grocers Association.
