You really have to take an hour or so and peruse through these arguments. I'm embarrassed that we have such stupidity on our Supreme Court. Spreading the cost of unpaid health services is just like spreading the cost of an unbought car?? Seriously??? The whole thing is unreal.

I thought they had some legitimate legal questions. This is what our Supreme Court is wasting its time on? This does not even make any sense. If you're uninsured, it's because you can't afford health insurance, so what makes these idiots believe you'll magically have the money when you're in the ER? Just Flat Stupid!
