US Person sees little reason to cheer as the smirky Current Occupant basks in the reflected glare of predictable victory at the Supremes where the Affordable Care Act was upheld. The legal case against the law in King v. Burwell was weak anyway, based on tortured interpretation of a subsidy scheme that was clearly inartfully drafted by the so-called reformers. He maintains that an upgrade of Medicare into a universal single-payer program would have done the most to control healthcare costs and insurance premiums at lower cost. At this point in history even conservatives admit there is nothing else on the political horizon to fix America's healthcare crisis short of socialized medicine, and they are willing to go to the barricades to prevent that from happening. The health insurance industry virtually wrote the law to "improve the health insurance markets", as Chief Justice Roberts wrote defending the Act, so the industry and 'Merica are stuck with the band-aid to the relief of GOP presidential candidates. The simple truth is that the Affordable Care Act was never intened to reach 100% insurance coverage despite the promises of candidates Obama, Clinton, and Edwards. Some
pretentious alphabet person should remind Mr. Smirky that his lease on 1600 Pennslyvania Avenue is up in 16 months, and my how time flies, when
you are having fun tweaking people.
