From their first questions to Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, the conservative justices seemed to echo the arguments against the individual mandate that the opposing lawyers had set out in their briefs. ... What then? Three general alternatives stand out for healthcare reform. Let’s call them the minimalist bypass, the great mountain highway, and the road through the states." (04/05/12)
