Yesterday, the Department of Health and Human Services announced new grants for 219 local health centers. This comes after a May announcement that they had completed the construction of 67 new clinics out of the 200 they intend to construct by 2014. And they have renovated 200 out of the 600 clinics they intend to renovate. The 219 grants will create an estimated 5,640 jobs. However, none of this may be acceptable to the five conservative justices on the Supreme Court, so Congress may wind up having to renege on all these commitments. You know, because providing health care to poor people is unconstitutional. That’s why we are going to have to push for Medicare for All if the Supreme Court goes all pear-shaped on us.
