I know at least 3 of the SC judges don't care at all, but maybe Roberts actually has a modicum of care about the fact that repealing the law would actually result in death sentences for poor people, who don't have care, for people who have been kicked off of insurance when they needed it, but could no longer afford to pay outrageous premiums, and for those who have had claims rejected for onerous legal reasons.
My only problem with health care reform is that they didn't purge the cancer of insurance companies completely from the process, as they are truly leeches, sucking much-needed blood from the system, useless organizations for the purpose of profit only. Insurance is the worst system of emergency management for the Commons. We should take a look at ridding all forms of insurance, as the profit motive makes them all fantastically expensive.
