What if ?

Supreme Court Arguments on the ACA — A Clash of Two World Views — NEJM
Reading this article in the NEJM and this, in the most recent BMJ  made me ponder as what we in the UK might be missing by not having a written constitution. The American Constitution is essentially a set of written rules by which all new laws must abide by if they are to pass muster.  Someone somewhere in one of the states of the USA has decided that the Affordable Care Act (Barack Obama's Health Care Reform Bill) might be unconstitutional and the judges in the most supreme of courts must vote on whether they agree or not.
I wonder what might have happened over here with the Health and Social Care Reform Bill if there was a written constitution and the supreme court to sit in judgement! As the emblem above suggests, there probably would be identical health systems across the whole of these Isles!

DEATH OF BIN LADEN AND THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE

So after more than 10 years of being hunted, Bin Laden is dead. This is a MASSIVE story and nowhere else more so than the the US. It is after all in New York that Bin Laden acheived his most spectacular and deadly act. US forces led by their commander in chief Barack Obama have finally acheived what George Bush, during 2 terms, was unable to. Barack Obama today and for a while yet will walk on water. And that is why this story is huge because never has there been such an empowered Democratic left of centre President in office. A second term is inevitable and with the goodwill of the American people behind him, he truly can change American society for good.
I hope Donald Berwick will sleep easy tonight.
