Sad….health care takes one step forward only to be pulled one step back.

The Supreme Court has decided to revive a Christian university's lawsuit against Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act after the university asked for a rehearing.

Wow. It happened.

GlaxoSmithKline has officially pleaded guilty to health fraud — marking it the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history.

GlaxoSmithKline now knows that it's not invincible.

The giant pharmaceutical giant is pleading guilty and paying a $3 billion settlement in a case of health care fraud… which makes it the BIGGEST settlement of that kind in U.S. history.

Wow, a victory into moving towards helping people stay healthy and saving lives?? Imagine that!

The Supreme Court, in a very close 5 to 4 victory, has decided to uphold the basic provisions of the health care overhaul. This includes the government's use of taxation powers to push people to buy health insurance!

It was a victory for President Obama and Congressional Democrats, as not only did it pass, but it had the conservative chief justice, John G. Roberts Jr., affirming the central legislative pillar of Obama's presidency. That's a big deal.

The four nay-sayers called the whole law “invalid in its entirety.”

Really?

Anyway, the decision did say no to one part of the law: the expansion of Medicaid, the government health-insurance program for low-income and sick people, giving states more flexibility.

This means that the Government can't force states into expansion compliance by threatening to remove ALL Medicaid funding — they can, however, offer perks to push them towards it.

Republicans are already scheming on how to have it removed, along with Mitt Romney saying he'll get rid of it all if elected.

What's so wrong with everyone getting the care they deserve?

Seems kinda bullshizzy to us to assert that one person deserves it more than another, just because of having the money to afford it or to be with a company kind enough to provide it!

We're SO happy to hear this!

We REALLY don't agree with Romney or anyone else who has a problem with Planned Parenthood, especially those who just want to take away a woman's right to her own reproductive health choices.

But do attack ads really help?

That is such a sad number.

Seriously: according to a new study, road congestion wastes 1.9 billion gallons of gas.

To put that in perspective, we pay about $4 per gallon for gasoline in this country, and we're wasting 1.9 billion gallons of it annually in traffic jams.

So. Gross.

Not only that, but
