Realty check.

As you know, today marks the first of three days in which the US Supreme Court considers the constitutionality of the Affordable Health Care Act. There's been tons of speculation on what their decision will be.

But tell me... Even if they find this law unconstitutional, can they really prevent us from paying for each other's health care?

Here's the scenario the way I see it. Your mother is very sick, and you don't have insurance or the funds for treatment. Are you going to tell her, "I'm so sorry, mom, money is tight, we can't afford to let you live"?

No, you're definitely not. You're gonna tell her, "We're gonna fight this." You're gonna go to charity organizations, churches, hold bake sales, declare bankruptcy if you have to, do everything in your power to raise the money to make her well.

And if worse comes to worst, you're going to demand treatment, and refuse to pay. And the hospital will find someone else to pay for it.

The point is, there's very little that the GOP can do. Everyone will pay for everyone's health care, regardless of what the Supreme Court decides.

That's my reality check.
