Obama plans ahead for the news of the Supreme Court's decision in the Affordable Care Act case.

Bloomberg reports:

[A] planning memo, including a reminder that it’s important “to continue projecting confidence that the court will uphold the law,” was discussed at a May 29 meeting hosted by a group called Protect Your Care, attended by officials from the White House and Department of Health and Human Services, said one of the attendees, who requested anonymity to discuss a private meeting.

“The best way to demonstrate public outrage or public celebration about the decision is to stage an event that shows average people actually responding to the news,” according to the memo....



“There’s a really strong feeling that getting out there and trying to do contingency planning out in public is not a very smart thing to do,” said [Bob Crittenden, executive director of the Herndon Alliance, a coalition of groups that backs the health-care overhaul]. “What we really want to do is to make sure that everyone is prepared to talk about the law when it comes up.”...

“The odds are that it’s slightly more likely to overturn the individual mandate,” said Richard Kirsch, a senior fellow at the Roosevelt Institute and the former campaign manager for Health Care for America Now, a group that fought for the overhaul. After the court makes its ruling, “one of the battles will be to define what’s happened.”

Even if the mandate is removed, supporters of the law should organize media events to have “people who continue to benefit from the law to tell their stories,” said Kirsch, author of “Fighting for Our Health: The Epic Battle to Make Health Care a Right in the United States.”

So that's the plan.
