Was I on the edge of my seat, waiting for theSupreme Court decision on Obamacare subsidies?No — I was pacing the room, too nervous to sit,worried that the court would use one sloppily wordedsentence to deprive millions of health insurance,condemn tens of thousands to financial ruin, andsend thousands to premature death.

我是坐在椅子边翘首等待最高法院针对奥巴马医改补贴的裁决结果吗?不——我当时在屋子里走来走去，紧张地坐不下来，担心法院一个措辞潦草的判决会令数百万人无法享受医疗保险，使数万人陷入经济困境，数千人因病早逝。

 

 

It didn’t. And that means that the big distractions — the teething problems of the website, theobjectively ludicrous but nonetheless menacing attempts at legal sabotage — are behind us,and we can focus on the reality of health reform. The Affordable Care Act is now in its secondyear of full operation; how’s it doing?

它没有做出这样的裁决。这意味着一些大的干扰——早期出现的网站技术问题、一些客观讲比较荒唐可笑、但仍是用心险恶的、通过法律途径发起的破坏活动——已经过去，我们可以专注于医改现实层面的东西了。《平价医疗费用法案》(Affordable Care Act)已经实施一年多，情况到底如何呢?
