Its only a matter of time, that we will rid ourselves of this insane system of Insurance Companies(i.e., Insurance Corporations), that is only interested in the "profit" motive. Only a matter of time when sensible minds will finally realize that "health profits" is not in this Country's best interest any longer and that it's the Government's duty to provide for its citizens as a vital service for it citizens. Only a matter of time when the "public option" will make sense as you have stated, "the profit motive makes them all fastastically "expensive"", not to mention the least effective way in caring for people health.
Its just a matter of time before we will finally cure this -Cancer- of for profit Insurance Corporations.  |

Last edited Mon Jul 2, 2012, 11:23 AM USA/ET - Edit history (2) He agreed with the conservatives that ACA's mandate was unconstitutional, but he was NEVER against striking down the entire thing -- THAT'S what the conservatives were trying to get him to "change his mind" about!
In addition to voting to uphold the rest of ACA, Roberts upheld its mandate by redefining it as a tax. He never "changed his mind" about the mandate -- as far as he was concerned, there was no such thing!
