God save the United States and this honorable court. We will hear argument this morning in case 19 840, california versus texas and the consolidated case. Mr. Chief justice and may it please the court, this Court Construes section 5008 of the Affordable Care create choice. Either obtain the Health Insurance or pay the tax in 2017, in 72 congress did not change sub a or sub b. 5000 a still presents a choice. Either by insurance or do nothing.

We expect the court will make short shrift of that argument but nonetheless we move forward. Dr. Kupperman had testimony we believe would corroborate the allegations of miss conduct that other witnesses have made. But w

K. Is all straight the e. U. Doesnt want to be responsible for x. And it will in no deal would also impact the you so its quite difficult to say but i think that a lot of people both on both sides of the channel so you want more and more extensions they want it to get sorted thank you ever so much for your time so i know weve said this about a 1000 times over th
