In short, the historic court ruling ensures the law’s survival in the long run, even if partisan battles over particular regulations and expenditures continue for some time. The arc of history now bends toward health care for all — and greater efficiency in the system as a whole.

As is usually the case when the elite grow the government, few of the good things promised will actually happen and most of the bad things that were promised not to happen, will. We steal even more from future generations to pay for our self-indulgence now. "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today." Sorry PKrug, we all lose. QEIII on the way...along with the infamous 'Death Panels.'
ReplyDeleteI prefer single-payer/Medicare for all, but there are enough good things in ACA to make a difference in people's lives. We can debate whether Obama sold out to Big Pharma/Insurance Co/et al., but generations have had enough dithering. 30 million people, if the self-indulgent, self-righteous, and disingenuous R governors don't hold true to their word, will now have healthcare.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good thing.
And the next time we go to war on the flimsiest of reasons, continue to give subsidies to oil/gas companies, or fail to prosecute anyone for the Wall Street meltdown, I'll remember the reason we don't have universal healthcare like every other industrialized country in the world, is b/c we don't have the money.
