http://www.democracynow.org/2012/6/29/michael_moore_supreme_court_healthcare_rulingThe Supreme Court has upheld the Affordable Care Act, President Obamas signature bill, clearing the way for the largest revamp of Americas healthcare system since the 1960s. We get reaction from acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore, whose 2007 documentary, "Sicko," tackled many failures of the U.S. healthcare system. "This really is a huge victory for our side, in spite of all of my concerns with this law," Moore says. "We have to work toward Medicare for all, so that everyones covered ...

You need to state the obvious over and over again here, because there's a lot of shmucks who are insisting this is just a giant corporate give-a-way with no benefit to anyone but them. THIS IS THE WAY TO SINGLE PAYER. Let's get there.

There's no undoing this. Not unless it's totally taken down by universal single payer. Which will not happen. Our masters will not allow it.

SOME of us understand that federal laws can be changed. Apparently you think they can't.
