60. Some of those quotes are taken slightly out of context.

Sanders, Moore, Kucinich...those people are also emphasizing the need for a single payer system, and the inadequacy of this new law.

It's disingenuous to only include the part of their quotes that praise the ACA and the SCOTUS ruling without mentioning their actual opinion about the need for at least a single-payer system.

You'll notice that quote from Michael Moore says "take some time tonight to celebrate". And that was said yesterday. It's time to start pushing for a real public health solution.

I'm glad the court upheld it, and will probably benefit from it myself. It's good.

But it is possible that overly worshiping this mini-victory will inhibit the push for a real solution.

People who favor a real health system should not relent in their activism one inch just because we might have won one battle.

Here is the rest of Sen. Sanders quote:
“In my view, while the Affordable Care Act is an important step in the right direction and I am glad that the Supreme Court upheld it, we ultimately need to do better,” the independent senator says. “If we are serious about providing high-quality, affordable healthcare as a right, not a privilege, the real solution to America’s health care crisis is a Medicare-for-all, single-payer system. Until then, we will remain the only major nation that does not provide health care for every man, woman and child as a right of citizenship.”
