Cause and effect

I was asked to write about the impact of the the Supreme Court ruling on the PPACA on the 2012 election for the RWJF's Human Capital blog. My answer, consistent with Seth's, is not that much.

Of course, the opposite is probably not true. That is, the 2012 election, both for president and for members of Congress, will likely have significant effects on the future of the legislation, and the future of health care in the United States.
