The Affordable Broccoli Act.

It was mentioned yesterday by some justices of the Supreme Court that if the Obamacare Affordable Health care Act remains in place, then the next thing that laws could require is for all Americans to buy broccoli. Broccoli? Or, possibly having to buy cell phones. Maybe even required to buy funeral and burial plans.

Now let’s get real. Notions tossed out only to distract from the seriousness of the Health Care Act. Trivializing the necessity of affordable health care. Certainly a political ploy by the conservative justices. And, these grown men with their teenage notions are our finest and best jurors? Aren’t we lucky?

Where do they get these ideas? I propose that these conservative justices have been listening to too much talk radio or watching Fox News. Perhaps a bit bias. Maybe spending too much time living away from the real world you and I live in. Possibly wining and dining with the social elite up in the Trump towers. A place where logic and rationale seldom visits.

It would be one thing to repeal the Act and start all over again with a single pay system. But the true notion of the court deciding the health care bill is solid gold partisanism at its worst. An obvious attempt to thwart the president and government sponsored health care and bring the president’s reelection numbers down. Please note the timing. An election year? I wish it weren’t true but it is. Political, partisan, and counterproductive for all Americans.

If it ever gets to the point where buying broccoli comes before the Supreme Court then that would be the time to burn down the halls of justice. Wipe it out. Start all over again. But, I seriously doubt the issue of buying broccoli could ever be brought before the Supreme Court. Could it?
