Krugman Puts Supreme Court Decision in Context
Paul Krugman provides the best analysis of the recent court decision on the Affordable Care Act., noting that “the real winners are ordinary Americans — people like you.”   The 30 million ordinary Americans that the Congressional Budget Office estimates would get insurance as a result of the Affordable Care Act.   Plus the ordinary Americans who regularly lose insurance when their employers downsize, or could not afford insurance, or have a pre-existing condition that…before Obamacare…would have resulted in being denied insurance. 

“In short, unless you belong to that tiny class of wealthy Americans who are insulated and isolated from the realities of most people’s lives, the winners from that Supreme Court decision are your friends, your relatives, the people you work with — and, very likely, you.”
