Commentary: Affordable Care Act a life-saver for ‘Susan.’ | www.palmbeachpost.com

As the court debates forcing people to buy broccoli and other theoretical legal nonsense, I worry about my very real patients. Unlike the supermarket, very few of us willingly enter the health care marketplace. One day, when we least expect it, we will be flung into it by cancer, heart disease, infection or an accident. We may have led lives to encourage it. We may have done nothing except to have very bad luck. And we can only hope that, unlike Susan, when we are at our lowest the last thing we will have to worry about will be our health insurance.
