Now Poor People Will Have Access To The Same Health Care That Republican Senators and Congressmen Have. Sound Fair ?

Supreme Court upholds Obamacare 5-4

President Obama touted the benefits of the law he championed as he reacted to the Supreme Court's ruling.

"By this August, nearly 13 million of you will receive a rebate from your insurance company because it spent too much on things like administration and CEO bonuses and not enough on your healthcare,” Obama said.

Other benefits include lower drug costs for seniors as well as denying insurers the option to deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions. It also provides free preventative care in certain cases and issues credits to those who can’t afford their health insurance premiums.

The president said he respects concerns about the bill and he understands that people are worried that it was politically driven, but he said it should be clear by now he didn’t push for the act because it was “good politics."

“I did it because I believed it was good for the American people,” he said.

President Barack Obama on Thursday called the Supreme Court's decision upholding his signature health care law "a victory for people all over this country whose lives will be more secure because of this law."

"They’ve reaffirmed a fundamental principle, that here in America, the wealthiest nation on Earth, no illness or accident should lead to any family’s financial ruin,” Obama said.

    BLESS GOD, poor people deserve affordable health care & so does the middle-class who have seen their premiums increase for decades while their benefits decreased. It's a great day to be an AMERICAN!

    and how was this going to be paid for, if those who can afford to buy insurance wont buy it, all people who actually paid attention to what the Bill said and does know that those who did not get health insurance once all provisions kick end, will have to pay a fine. We all knew this, but conservatives were to busy talking about death panels and tracking chips, instead of actually reading the bill that i suggested many times. Now it is up to the states to put in place exchanges, which they have not done so far, so that people can pull together thus lowering cost.

    On top of this, they must spend at least 80% of your premiums on actual healthcare, if not then those who hold the policy will receive a rebate every year. Once all is in place i believe this will work very well, and now the republicans if they honestly care about people ( as they claim) will have to work in a responsible manner, if not then it may not work.

    But come Aug., once people start receiving their rebates, i suspect they will like it. Because when i did drive, i often wondered what becomes of the money i send in, but get in no accidents, i never got a percentage of that back. With the ACA among other things i will get some money back, if i stay healthy. Its a financial incentive for people to get healthy or stay healthy, because as you know money is what all Americans care about.

    NO, I went straight to the truth. This will lead to Obama losing in nov. Because the American people cannot afford this tax. The economy is in the tank, and now this tax hits. Plain and simple, this was a terrible day.

    This is a good thing and I believe it will benefit many more people than just the poor. Maybe the insurance industry will focus on improving peoples health and the care they get again.

    Everyone deserves affordable health care, This bill doesn't really do this. It should make it easier to obtain health insurance but it is far from perfect. But you have to start somewhere and this is a start. Amazing so many are against improvements to the health care system. What will they do when single payor universal coverage is proposed and the funding comes out of the military and prison complexes?

    If it were truly affordable, but all they are doing is robbing from Medicare and taxing us even more, meanwhile we will lose more jobs. Talk to me about how "great" you think it is in 5 or 10 years, but I hope to God it is dismantled before then. We are SO screwed.

    The poor and middle class deserve it. They have had to decide to either pay for HC or eat and have a roof over their heads- that's what life has been like for too long.
