Sen. Ben Nelson has set in motion the beginning stage of developing an alternative plan to prompt the fullest possible participation in the health care reform law if its individual mandate is struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Gov. Deval Patrick was on national TV Thursday morning to plug health care reform in Massachusetts and credited a key component of the reform to former Gov. Mitt Romney.

A federal judge who called out President Barack Obama for saying it would be "unprecedented" for the Supreme Court to strike down a law like his administration's health care overhaul is a conservative voice on what may be the nation's most conservative appeals court.

Justice Kennedy is the court’s swing vote, and where he lands on President Obama’s healthcare law will likely decide the fate of one of the most important cases in recent history.

Here's a thought that can't comfort President Barack Obama: The fate of his health care overhaul rests with four Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices.

The health insurance industry's largest players spent $7.7 million in the first three months of 2010 seeking to shape or blunt the health overhaul in Congress, according to figures released today by a labor-backed advocacy group, which reviewed public disclosure documents.

Now that healthcare reform is becoming a reality, states are sorting out how they will pay for two of the plan's major components that will rest largely on their shoulders at the same time they are pulling out of a long economic downturn

This dispute concerns (or at least pretends to concern) matters of fact, not belief.
