DJP Update 6-25-2012 Now in Washington, DC for SCOTUS PPACA decision and media
I arrived in Washington, DC yesterday afternoon so that I can be present when the U.S. Supreme Court renders its opinion on The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). I also will be doing media.
The decision will be handed down either today or Wednesday. Long shot is Thursday but my prediction some months ago was Wednesday. Only those in the Court really know.
My prediction is 5-4 or 6-3 ruling individual mandate unconstitutional and a greater than 50% chance the entire law falls. But only the Justices know!
Here are some recent tweets and retweets I did about the issue.
As I was arriving in D.C., I snapped a photo from the plane. See it here http://twitpic.com/a06ust (full tweet below). Do you see the U.S. Supreme Court? Look carefully. Hint: the court has 9 columns and a peaked roof. The Washington Monument, the Capitol, and the WWII Memorial are noted without difficulty.
Also, note that Dr. Stormy Johnson, former AMA president, has joined the Twitter Revolution and is tweeting today from a far away place outside of the USA. Go Stormy! And follow his tweets @dhjjr
