Our To Do List After Today's SCOTUS Decision (JK on HUffPo)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-kerry/our-to-do-list-after-toda_b_1634710.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000008

Edited to quote the first paragraph because it is too precious

By now, I don't need to tell you that today is an important day. Really, it's almost a surreal day, made particularly so when my blackberry started going berserk in my Foreign Relations Committee hearing with conflicting reports of what the Supreme Court's decision actually meant.


Now go and read teh whole thing, it's good.

...quite an understatement. This is EXCELLENT. Senator Kerry hit it out of the park, and he is SO correct about what should happen now. I hope his words are heeded by all.

Thanks, Inuca, for posting this.

And thank you once again, Senator Kerry, for all you do for the American people.

A plea to stop demonizing and actually work together and a nice summary of some of the benefits.

I know that I bring up my son's coverage under ACA whenever I can. That shuts people up quickly because they know that he is trying desperately to get a full-time teaching job while subbing and taking on other part-time work.

Those of us with family qualifying for Medicare, family members with pre-existing conditions ... we can't be quiet.

We need to shut down the lies.

Go, JK!!!
