How could an objective observer not reach the conclusion that Barack Obama has grossly overstepped his constitutional authority? What if a Republican President were to declare that a recently passed and signed law setting income tax at 30% would not be enforced as is but changed to a rate of 20%? Or what if there were a duly promulgated law dictating a sentence of ten years for the crime of embezzlement and a Rep. President were to declare that henceforth the Department of Justice would not prosecute those who committed that crime? I suspect that most people, especially the Democrats, would be incensed. And rightly so.
Obama's assumption of the power to change laws is a dangerous challenge to our form of government. Too bad the Democrats sit quietly by and say nothing. Let a Republican President do the same thing, and they would go into orbit.

It is pretty clear that the law only allows state exchanges to subsidize the poor. Obama has federal aid which is not in the law. He can't do that.
