The Health Care Act and some parts of it have been in force since passed by Congress in 2009 and is serving millions of people who were previously uninsured. It is estimated that the law when fully implemented will cover 30 plus million people who are uninsured. So what should the President do if the Supreme Court strikes down the Health Care law?
In this writers judgement if that happens the President should insist that the state governors assume the responsibility of seeing that the uninsured within their borders are provided the necessary health care. It should be the governors responsibility any way to see that those 30 plus million citizens are taken care of. The federal government only stepped in because state governors refused to do so because they would have to raise taxes and do not have the leadership or courage to take that step. This would be a way for state governors to help reduce federal spending and take control of what happens inside a states border. But don't look for any governor to take that responsible lead. They love to bash the federal government but actually take the federal money gladly.
It is the governors who have put America in a bind concerning health care and its cost. They have failed to come up with a workable policy or program to administer the uninsured and rising health care cost within their own borders. When governors talk about the big bad federal government spending, its roots go back to the fact that governors have failed their own responsibility to its own people and left it up to the federal government to act. State governors need to be held accountable.
