So much for the John Roberts put. The Scotus chief justice exercised his option to affirm the law. We all know why we’re having this national conversation in the first place (okay “conversation” may be too grown-up a term for what transpires inside our fair Beltway): American healthcare is unbelievably expensive.

That’s more than double our Euro 2012 finalists in Spain and Italy.
