With the Supreme Court decision on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act days away, it's unclear how the Obama Administration will react should the court overturn part or all of the healthcare law.
But a recent New Yorker report offers a glimpse into how the administration may be thinking behind closed doors.
In the report, a former White House aide says, should the High Court strike down the healthcare law, "the [Administration's] strategy is to just go on the offensive and say, 'look at Citizens United, look at the healthcare decision, look at Bush v. Gore. We have an out-of-control activist court and Romney will make it worse. That's Plan A. Plan B is nothing."
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has said the White House will be "ready" for any ruling the Supreme Court makes on the healthcare law, but has yet to provide specifics of how the administration will respond if the court overturns the law.
