If he is going to the convention, why would he endorse anyone?
Agreed. Hopefully, he will be allowed to speak at the convention. We shall see. Paix, mon ami.

This just in -- The Supreme Court today upheld the individual health-insurance mandate that is at the heart of President Obama’s landmark health-care law, saying the mandate is permissible under Congress’s taxing authority.
I am sure that some will quickly jump upon this posting, blasting Pres. Obama, et al, but I for one think that it is a good move to help millions upon millions of American citizens. We shall see.
Paix, mes amis.

While the claimed intent was to reduce the impact on hospitals from the uninsured, the fact is that many uninsured Americans simply cannot afford coverage of any kind. The effect is robbing from the poor and giving to the rich.

I believe that as of 2014, the Act expands Medicare eligibility to ensure more low-income Americans have coverage.

Currently Medicare Plan B cost is $165/month (Perhaps depending on State). Another $45-$65/ month must also be spent on intermediary insurance as no medical providers will attempt to deal directly with Medicare.
Someone who cannot find employment due to pre-existing medical conditions is very unlikely to have $200/month spare income to devote to medical insurance even if the Medicare Gods should decide they are eligible.

As of 2014, Insurers are prohibited from discriminating against or charging higher rates due to pre-existing conditions.
I'm not saying the Act is perfect, but it's not like they didn't at least consider some of these issues.
Yes, I too am happy .............. but surprised that they went this way with their decision. I can't help think of the millions of people who will be helped with medical care they would not have had if the decision went the other way.
Paix, mon amie.

An interesting timeline re medical care for all Americans. That final few seconds of the video reminded me of the signing ceremony that FDR had when he signed Social Secutiry into law. Just think of the millions upon millions of seniors and survivors that helped. Hopefully, this will do the same. We shall see.

the cynic in me can't help but think they did it at the behest of the insurance companies since most of the SC's decisions seem to be corporately motivated as of late.
