Health care law upheld!! Eat it baggers!

Well it finally happened, and in a manner that I didn't expect.  The Affordable Health Care Act or Obamacare was upheld by the Supreme Court.  This is huge and not the way we thought it would go down.  If it was upheld, all bets were on Kennedy being the middle ground person to keep it intact, but it wasn't.  Anthony Kennedy voted against it.  John Roberts said it was constitutional and not abiding by the law is equivilent to a tax... more or less.

A lot of us liberals didn't like the conservative nature of the law in the first place, but it was a huge step in the right direction.  More people will be covered and less people will go bankrupt and die.  I can get on board with that.  We wanted single payer or at least a public option, but those are still possible.  The public option in itself is definately on the table as an addition to the current law. 

First off, I'd like to give an up yours to all of the tbaggers.  To all of the fake astroturfing douchers that shouted down representatives and senators with non facts and hatred.  To everyone to threw bricks through the windows of Democratic headquarters.  To everyone who was sooooo confident that it would be struck down.  Up. Yours.  You failed, forever.  The court is never going to be more conservative than it is now.  Obama is destroying Romney and only something huge could keep him from winning the election and this was it.  This was what could have lost Obama the election and a Gdubya appointee called it constitutional.  The Arizona law being struck down is more or less an Obama win (or at least a tie).

So I'll get a check for the healthcare I didn't use, more people will be covered, and the country will be better off for it.  The debates are going to destroy Mr. Bane.
