More thoughts on the Supreme Court ruling....
Was reading Ebert movie reviews, and came across this from his blog. I guess I shouldn't be surprised he has strong feelings about health care coverage, given all that's gone on in his life during the past six years:
Doing the right thing
As I have said before, I would have preferred truly universal health care, but Obamacare is a step in the right direction. I remember being in college and having no health insurance. I injured my back during my sophomore year, and other than an x-ray to make sure I didn't have a fracture (I did have a chipped bone, though) and a two weeks' worth of pain medication, I couldn't afford to do anything about it. Because I under-treated the problem 30 years ago, my back is still screwed up - in fact, I am feeling pain there this very moment.
