Two of the nation’s leading constitutional scholars discuss contemporary constitutional issues -- and the Supreme Court that will decide them. Is Obamacare unconstitutional? Epstein and Yoo explain why the “encroachment” argument beats the “general welfare” argument in the case against Obamacare. Is California’s Proposition 8 unconstitutional? And how does today’s Supreme Court measure up?

System for the advance financing of medical expenses through contributions or taxes paid into a common fund to pay for all or part of health services specified in an insurance policy or law. The key elements are advance payment of premiums or taxes, pooling of funds, and eligibility for benefits on the basis of contributions or employment without an income or assets test. Health insurance may apply to a limited or comprehensive range of medical services and may provide for full or partial payment of the costs of specific services. Benefits may consist of the right to certain medical services or reimbursement of the insured for specified medical costs. Private health insurance is organized and administered by an insurance company or other private agency; public health insurance is run by the government (seesocial insurance). Both forms of health insurance are to be distinguished from socialized medicine and government medical-care programs, in which doctors are employed directly or indirectly by the goverment, which also owns the health-care facilities (e.g., Britain's National Health Service).

One of the highlighted ideas posted as a link above is about Judge Walker's Prop 8. A San Francisco court had a lawsuit concerning a retired judge along with his sexual orientation. It is an unparalleled case. Some say its precedent would be a risky one, and advocates state it is a straightforward case of conflict of interest. I found this here: Legal hearing to determine if gay judge had conflict of interest. You can check that out for a detailed information.
