Why Health Care Reform Matters
by Jessica B. April 10th, 2012 | Political Opinions
The Health Care Reform act is before the Supreme Court as they decide if the requirement that every American citizen have health insurance is constitutional or goes beyond federal powers. Every news network is portraying this case as one of the most significant ones before the court in years.
