Although I see the issue and the outrage, I put most fault here with the writers of the law as they left this door open with the "wording issue"...why not ensure this loophole doesn't exist rather than hoping your opponents don't jump on it and complaining it's a technicality when they do? Besides, we've been changing the law pretty regularly since it was originally passed, why not simply change the wording once more?
Meanwhile, Obama's ex law professor has stated he "wouldn't bet the family farm" on the ACA surviving these legal challenges.

But take a look here as the Washington Post says the ACA will probably come out alright...
