My co-worker’s father, an immigrant who came to the US and raised his children in Michigan, sent his daughter an email earlier this week. I’ve never met this man, but I wanted to share his email about the US Supreme Court’s pending decision on the constitutionality of the 2010 health care legislation, The Affordable Care Act.
“It is a deep and damaging flaw of our Constitution, I conclude, that a
Court of 9 aging mortals, never without medical care or the insurance to pay for it in their adult life, sits in closeted – secret for decades –
debate and discussion, on the effort of a duly elected Congress to assure
the health and economics of an entire nation. When that same small group is nakedly political, respect for law risks being undone for an entire generation in the population at large.”

This act is insanity. It penalizes the people that can least afford healthcare, and disguises it as “affordable care for all”.
To suggest that anyone in this country would decide against obtaining health care coverage for anything OTHER than the its blatant high cost is disgraceful and unethical. And taxing those that can least afford to pay for health care coverage…I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around this warped rational.
It’s disgraceful that this country doesn’t provide healthcare for each of its citizens. Archaic really. The only only 1st world country that doesn’t. As liberal as I am, this law should be declared unconstitutional.
