I think this ruling was a great victory for the people of Texas, even if the insurance companies, the ideologues, and their tools in the Texas Republican Party hate it.

Ironically, I think this ruling saved their sorry right-wing back-sides in the long run.

Being a right-wing lunatic is a mass-sport only a relatively prosperous society can afford: a kleptocratic society like the Russian Federation's, Mexico's or many more-developed 3rd world countries fosters the growth of strong left, a left MUCH stronger and politically potent than the one in the US.
