Remembering the reason for the health care bill

Roger Ebert has a long essay reminding us to remember that there is indeed a need for universal health care.

The Supreme Court has done us all a kindness. Obamacare shows the human community working at its best. For me, that's what it finally comes down to. If all of us, even the least fortunate, have access to competent medical attention, isn't that a wonderful thing? The poor, the old, the unemployed, those with pre-existing conditions?...
In the long term, Obamacare will work itself out and be perfected through countless tweaks and improvements. It is like that with all major new legislation.
