yesterday, the Supreme Court came down with a couple of big decisions. Both were somewhat expected.

Both were, I would say, disappointments for conservatives. And you're seeing some conservatives

today spin these decisions as not super disappointing for conservatives, but they're disappointing

for conservatives. One of them less so than the other. So the first one was sort of expected. There was a case that was brought to the Supreme Court. The case was basically that Obamacare ought to be struck down in its entirety, which of course would throw the health care system into a bit of a mess, considering that Obamacare has now been implemented in the United States for nigh on a decade. And that means that it would undo a lot of what's already been done in terms of public, in terms of Obamacare options available, a number of people who are already on Obamacare options and subsidy schemes that have been created. Now, the reality when it comes to Obamacare is that Obamacare has not been the sort of panacea that everybody on the left suggested it was going to be. It has not been sort of the end of the world, as some of us thought that it would be, but it certainly has not succeeded in bringing down the price of health care overall. Megan McArdle over at the Washington Post has a very good piece on this. She points out that some of her critiques, she was a big critic of Obamacare, some of those critiques were right,

some of them were a little bit overblown.

First, I doubted we would improve our overly complex Balkanized healthcare system with yet another major program that would make it even more complicated. Second, I feared committing more than $100 billion to new spending every year at a time when we hadn't even figured out how to pay for existing entitlement programs. Third, I worry that having the government subsidized even more of our medical bills would

lead to price pressure, particularly on pharmaceuticals and medical devices, which in turn

would reduce incentives for innovation.

And fourth, I simply didn't believe many of the claims supporters were making explicitly

or implicitly about Obamacare dramatically reducing health care costs or bankruptcies or infant

mortality or improving lifespans.

So the complications of the health care system remain complications.

So she was right about that.

The system has not gotten any simpler for pretty much anybody.
