Supreme Court Decision Tree

Once again America is having one of its “national conversations” on health care reform. This time the buzz is over arguments before the Supreme Court on the constitutionality of certain provisions in the Affordable Care Act. The justices’ rulings will be landmark decisions, because they will indirectly go much beyond the act itself to our entire system of governance.

A fine synopsis of the issues now before the court is provided in a report by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. The following decision tree illustrates the logical sequence of decisions.

Very interesting decision tree......and a very profound statement: "The justices’ rulings will be landmark decisions, because they will indirectly go much beyond the act itself to our entire system of governance."
