day 2 of Supreme Count on AHC

This is day two of the Supreme Court's assault on Affordable Health Care (not "ObamaCare").

The reviews suggest the "Supremes" are going to cast down the AHC law. This would be a fucking disaster. After all, "Affordable Health Care" is needed to:

• Give people health care they could afford while not being rich. Rushbo said he got "excellent health care" [or words to that effect]. Well, he supposedly makes takes in fifty million dollars a year. That is $50,000,000/year! This high an income means the costs of his medical bills were lost in the noise...
• "Health Care" means exactly that: medical treatment that helps folks; not band aids but "skin grafts and bone transplants" [to paraphrase from a Philip Jose Farmer novel] I've gotten the "we can give you some treatment but you need to see your Doctor" before. That didn't make me feel too good...
• My youngest brother was a type 1 juvenile onset diabetic and could not get decent health care. He died young (age 44). In his last years, he waited until he was sick and went to the emergency room. He checked himself into hospital several times. (I don't even know how someone checks themselves into a hospital!) If he had had health insurance, I might still have my youngest brother alive! But he died for the lack of a family doctor...

Some more stuff "Affordable Health Care" needs to accomplish:

• guarantee affordable health care for folks with "preexisting conditions" (i.e. diabetes)
• guarantee folks won't lose their health insurance when they get sick and need that insurance!
• guarantee folks won't lose their insurance because of:
1. a typo on their insurance forms
2. someone forgot to mention treatment from decades previously (i.e. they took those straw coloured pills for their acne when they were in high school 25 years before)
3. the customer was tricked by small print that allowed the insurer to revoke medical insurance on a whim
• remain on their parent's health insurance while in college (including grad school)
  

We like to say we're not only the greatest nation on Earth but the greatest nation that ever was! If so, why are there places in the US with health care worst than some banana republics? In 2000, the World Health Organization ranked the US as 37th in their ranking of world health care. That was only two above Cuba!

Being that close to an economic disaster like Cuba is just depressing. Surely we can do better than this?per Hurricane Katrina; maybe New Orleans should have taken the help?
