Only legal requirement was to make it available, making it default to assuming they joined was the company's fault.

If you honestly believe the company broke the law then sue them. Make millions and "stick it to the man" bro.
Of course you won't do that.

There's no suit with the refunding they're doing. If they didn't there likely would be one.
Of course people who rejected purchasing coverage view it unfavorably. What a ridiculous poll.

The line of reasoning that was constantly bantered about here was that the uninsured were poor or young and the subsidies would help them get the coverage they wanted.
And how exactly does that poll prove anything otherwise? I have a feeling that most people who don't have insurance now didn't have insurance last year, and the only difference going forward for them is they'll pay a penalty for their choice. I'd be willing to bet 0% of them responded favorably.

I would venture it has something to do with the fact that it doesn't cover everyone who wants insurance? so they would naturally feel neglected.

Here is the criteria to be eligible for coverage in the ACA: Lawful resident of the state you're applying in. That's it. How does that not make coverage available to virtually everyone who wants it? Whether medicaid was expanded further in a specific state is the responsibility of that individual state. Saying coverage is unavailable and using states that chose not to participate in the medicaid expansion as your reason why is disingenuous at best.

Giving the red states the ability to screw over their own citizens shouldn't have been in the bill. I mean wtf did they think was gonna happen if Texas was left to its own devices? Obummercare does virtually nothing for the uninsured down here. Nationalize this shit once and for all or fuck it and let it all burn. I know its not fair, but this half-assed attempt at health care reform has only given ammunition to the Tea Tards and hamstrung any progressive agenda.

State Sovereignty laws (10th Amendment, right?) pretty much mandate that it had to be done the way it was done - that they're requested to do it, and the Federal government gives them less support if they don't do it - but the Fed isn't allowed to dictate if or how the state does things besides penalizing them if they ignore the Fed's request for how things should be done.
I'm not aware of any LEGAL method that they could've just said "Here, you're doing Medicaid expansion X way, period" instead of "Do it X way or we cut your Federal funding by $Y".
It may be half-assed but it's half-assed as deemed appropriate by those that founded the nation, unfortunately.

If anything else broke the bill of rights why exactly do the Justices feel they aren't? Also why are you more of a Constitutional expert than them to question their judgment?
Ignoring the 10th like that would be cut and dry even to a layman without room for Judicial opinion unlike every other disputed point.
