Krugman: Double Scotch Time

Yes, I’m on vacation. And I’ve tried not to think about Scotus, even though I was campaigning for universal health care long before it was fashionable. But I did have a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach this morning, all the same.

And then the ruling came down; fortunately, I was reading Scotusblog, not watching CNN — and I was so hyper that I needed medication.

Health reform may yet be killed. But not today. And never mind the horserace politics: ordinary Americans have just won big.

we were not competitive with socialist countries because of our healthcare costs going up 20% every year
