Supreme Test for Health Law

A Wall Street Journal article that was published on 11/30/2011 discussed the Supreme Court's review of Obama's health-care program. Although this was perceived by some as the president's signature legislative achievement, the Court is now debating whether or not mandating Americans to carry healthy insurance is within the president's power. This reminded me of FDR's New Deal legislation, and the ways in which it changed the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution. The profound impact that it had on the Federal government's expenditures can be still felt today. Perhaps, Obama's piece of legislation will receive the same response. If it doesn't, though, this may debase his presidency in the eyes of his supporters. A final verdict is expected by the end of June.
