Insurance and the Affordable Care act and every Health Insurance policy sold in america is subject to the law of the Affordable Care act. If the Supreme Court does with the Trump Administration and republicans are asking it to do, 20 million americans could lose their healthcare coverage, 600,000 of them, tens of millions of americans with preexisting conditions, including the 5 million in illinois will lose protections the Affordable Act currently gives them, 6 million americans have been diagnosed with positive results from covid19.

A jewish teaching says that those who die just before the jewish new year are those whom god has held back until the last moment because they were most needed on earth. So it seems fitting that Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg left this world as the sun was setting last friday, marking the start of rosh hassana.
