The Supreme Court is about ready to rule on obamacare...Regardless of what happens there will be people very upset. I suspect there will be more attention paid to the political ramifications of this decision than there will be for the actual effects on health care delivery in this country.
We should keep in mind that the affordable care act has a lot of good in it. More people would be insured, more people would have access to preventative testing and procedures. There is help for senior citizens with the donut hole, help for younger people to be able to stay on their parents insurance policies until they are 26, help for people trying to pay for their healthcare knowing that they can't be cut off because of financial limitations by their insurance carrier. Things like requiring all insurance companies spend at least 85 cents of every premium dollar on direct patient care. And much more...
There is a strong possibility that all or least most of this may be gone within about 40 minutes...
I eagerly await the details of the republican replacement strategy it's time for details, not vague rhetoric...
