On Wednesday's Morning Edition, NPR's pro-ObamaCare shill Julie Rovner predictably lined up backers of the contested law. Rover again cited the Kaiser Family Foundation and failed to mention their liberal leanings. She also turned to a former Clinton administration official, without identifying her as such, and played five total clips from liberals, versus only two from a conservative.
The correspondent hyped the "the potential impact on the relationship between the federal government and the states" if the Supreme Court struck down the controversial legislation, and that "virtually any program in which the federal government gives money to the states with conditions attached" could be at risk.
Host Renee Montagne previewed Rovner's advocacy for the Affordable Care Act in her introduction: "The final argument the Supreme Court will hear about the health care law later today could actually have the most far-reaching consequences. At issue is whether, by expanding the Medicaid program for the poor, does the law unfairly force states to participate? As NPR's Julie Rovner reports, if the Supreme Court finds that the federal government is coercing the states, that decision could reach far beyond health care."
