thousands of americans wait on lines overnight 

for free dental care at woodstock baptist church in georgia

usa today has this article on the expected u.s.s.c. health care ruling, and how investors stand to gain or lose (money, that is, first and foremost).  matt kranz asserts that managed care companies and insurers stand to benefit from the legislation with more than 30 million new customers, hospitals gain by getting paid for visits by uninsured patients, and so do drug companies because rules get taken off the table.

ah, we wait with bated breath.

compare here to rob stone's september 2011 tikkun article on how good it is to be an insurance company as well as financial and moral bankruptcy.

meanwhile, wendall potter has these tips for court watchers and brendan fischer asks, who is bankrolling the fight against "obamacare?"

of course we're not even beginning to discuss dentistry.

(what's a little infection to the brain, eh?)

Healthcare-NOW! suggests people ready themselves for swift actions when the court decision is announced.  (tell them you want single payer, which sounds best to me, and which includes dental in h.r. 676.)

i wonder if, or when, the united nations can intervene on the grounds of catastrophic human rights violations in the united states.
