236 Years ago America said goodbye to Europe, in 2012 it said hello again!
The Gift of Universal Healthcare
That is the political gift that will keep on giving – and along with saved lives, better health and lower costs for millions of American, the greatest potential legacy of the Supreme Court's decision.
“Three days from today the United States will celebrate the 236th anniversary of its decision to bid farewell to the country's European masters. How ironic that this year's version of American Independence Day comes less than a week after the US Supreme Court ensured that America would finally join Europe in providing access to healthcare coverage for its citizens.
While the event is a momentous one for America – and in particular for the tens of millions of its citizens who lack health insurance – the event is more reason for introspection than an excuse to pop champagne corks. After all, it took this long to do what almost every other developed country did long ago – and it was only one conservative jurist vote away from being tossed into the ash heap of legislative history. But better late than never; and considering that every year an estimated 45,000 Americans die because they lack health insurance, those words have a particularly poignant resonance.
