Appeals court backs Obama health care law

CBS/AP) President Obama's health care law overcame a major legal hurdle Tuesday, as an appeals court upheld the controversial law's constitutionality. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld the lower court's ruling that found Congress did not overstep its authority in requiring people to have insurance or pay a penalty, beginning in 2014.

More than 48 million Americans do not have health insurance, according to the CDC - about 18 percent of the population.

1. The working poor.
I spoke to a retired Wall Streeter on Medicare the other day. She retained a Major Medical supplement from her company because it was bought up by a large one and she was left a small estate from a close friend.

She informed me that the working poor deserved no health insurance because they made poor choices. She actually hates them (me?) because they want her to pay for their medical care. She's not even rich....just secure but greedy and mean.
