Finally, today the Supreme Court told us what we should have known all along. The more people you can include in the healthcare system, the better off we all are. The heartless opponents of the plan call the plan Obamacare, to try to make the Act sound problematic and pin the problem on the President. The Act is called the Affordable Health Care Act and any member of the media who uses the term Obamacare makes themselves sound like a classless moron. It is a major victory for the President and the American people.
Anyone who doesn't think so should watch Michael Moore's film Sicko and see how far behind we are in taking care of our citizens. Even this plan is only a first step in that direction. Ultimately we need to replicate the single payer system in place in Great Britain, where people get taken care of for free. All the economic arguments in the world pale in comparison to the benefits afforded to all citizens under that kind of system. That will only happen when we put the health of every American ahead of the profits of the healthcare companies.
