The image here is showing the Supreme Court engraving standards of American justice and law into stone, such as sending someone to war or killing them yet Obama is asking to pass the healthcare reform and the court is saying that is too much to ask. The satire behind this cartoon is the fact that as Americans we accept certain norms into our society such as the draft, eminent domain, and exaction but when it comes to buying healthcare we are opposed because we feel as though it infringes upon our rights. The idea that going too far is making people buy healthcare but yet we don’t think being able to send someone to death is a violation of human rights. This is important to me personally because growing up in a bad economy I will be presented with difficult decisions and expenses. Healthcare will be an important step in my life and having to pay for it will be a major expense. So weather its free or mandated to have I will eventually be presented with the issue of healthcare.
