White House Faces Political Dilemma on Health Law Challenge

As soon as Congress passed this stupid healthcare crap, all of the health insurance premiums went through the roof to employers and individual policies. The insurance companies will get very rich. There will be alot be more homeless people, with debt and in jail because they could not pay for healthcare and provide for their families, than we ever imagined. If they everyone to have healthcare, fund medicaid that is already in place and change the guidelines. I am sure that is to simple for some people to understand because they have lost touch with the working poor.
