Sounds to me like you're still trying to palm the responsiblity off on anyone but yourself -- Please grow up!
I am 62 years of age, and have lived with spinal curvature (idiopathic scoliosis) for 53 of those years. I have held a full-time job for all but about two of those years, plus a sideline business.
But my most stable employment ended in the mid-1990's; since then, I've been limited to the no-major-medical policies peddled to the blue-collar market. And I know that, as a mature male, the only plan Obama and Co. have for me is to force me into the Medicaid ghetto. I'll be better off under traditional Medicare, if the Democrats' redistribution scheme doesn't loot and strip it.
How exactly does this redistribution scheme affect you? And why do you feel that Medicare would serve you better than Medicaid? And why should you be served better while the government disregards the costs in doing so?
Justice Ginsberg is right. We are all paying for healthcare (both directly and indirectly) anyway; and we’re all paying more for it every time some uninsured person goes to the emergency room. So why not get what we are all paying for? And, more to the point, why not get our money’s worth?
What's funny is, the notion of exceptionalism requires communities in America to work together, for a common positive goal. I see very little of that these days.
No American cares that healthcare is in a crisis, until they have to take care of an injured family member, and sticker shock of the cost at the Emergency Room visit actually registers.

Its the Ostrich Syndrome at work. It is painful to watch these folks not only buy into the lip service that is "fiscal conservatism", they actually consider self to be it.
You look at the Constitution as if came down from Mt. Sinai. It didn't and was/is not perfect. The original Constitution condoned slavery and discouraged popular elections. It also leaves many areas contradictory and vague. If I were writing a constitution today, I would do it differently too.
That doesn't matter to a justice. It is their job to uphold the law of the land not make it. That is the job of the legislators. Maybe you and ginsberg need to take a government class.

This "justice system" figured out that money is speech. Does that mean bribery is legal now? I mean, a cop accepting "speech" is, well, doing his job?
The justices ruled that corporations as well as individuals should be protected under the first amendment along with unions. You may not agree. Many don't. Many do. They didn't write the first amendment they made their ruling based on the first amendment.
It's obvious that the people behind "Obamacare" are far more interested in peddling simple, bur not-too-expensive-procedures to impressionable suburban tweps, cleaning up after the indiscretions of illegal immigrnts, hard-core unemployables, and union bozos, than in allowing mature presumably-conservative adults more choices in safeguarding the health that wise lifestyle choices have often helped them in attaining.
The "wisdom" of the original titile not withstanding; It is your free choice and your right to seek something only for yourself and the people you choose to belong to, and not to see the fruits of your own labor tossed to the hogs at the public trough.
