some dispairing thoughts on "Obamacare"

It just occurred to me that "Affordable Health Care Reform" (AHDR) has probably been killed by the 5 to 4 Republican majority in the Supreme Court. I'd like to think they'll do something right for the American people and preserve AHDR (aka "Omabacare") but I see little reason for hope.

When the Supreme Court kills "Obamacare" and the Congress refuses to address the issues raised by it, then every person who dies from causes that could have been prevented by "Obamacare" will be a kill to be credited to each Supreme and each congress critter who refused to help the American people. This will require coroners to make such determininations and then report them. I suspect the numbers will grow enormously...

The issues include:

• cancelling health insurance for people "coming down with" severe illness (i.e. diabetes)
• not insuring those with "pre-existing conditions"
• limits on amounts paid
• not covering medical devices
• arbitrary benefit cuts and
• arbitrary co-pay increases

There are probably other issues I've overlooked. There is the horrible truth that many folks don't become sensitive to issues until they are forced to. I bet that if any of the Republican Supreme Court majority developed serious disease or their grandchildren do, then they'll modify their approach to laws.
