SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Syllabus
KING et al. v. BURWELL, SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, et al.
Certiorari to the United States court of appeals for the fourth circuit
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act grew out of a long history of failed health insurance reform. In the 1990s, several States sought to expand access to coverage by imposing a pair of insurance market regulations--a "guaranteed issue" requirement, which bars insurers from denying coverage to any person because of his health, and a "community rating" requirement, which bars insurers from charging a person higher premiums for the same reason. The reforms achieved the goal of expanding access to coverage, but they also encouraged people to wait until they got sick to buy insurance. The result was an economic "death spiral": premiums rose, the number of people buying insurance declined, and insurers left the market entirely. In 2006, however, Massachusetts discovered a way to make the guaranteed issue and community rating requirements work--by requiring individuals to buy insurance and by providing tax credits to certain individuals to make insurance more affordable. The combination of these three reforms--insurance market regulations, a coverage mandate, and tax credits--enabled Massachusetts to drastically reduce its uninsured rate.
This is a small part of the ruling.You should go to the US Supreme Court cite to get more information.

Movie Review Two: Twelve Angry Men (1957)
Movie reviews consist of the following parts:
• Introduction, with title, leading actors, director, and release date
• Summary of the story
• Analysis of story elements - like rising action, climax
• Creative elements, use of color, camera techniques, mood and tone
• Your opinion of the movie. You need to go further than just saying that it was "good" or "bad." Think about the movie in terms of what you are learning in class and how it does or does not help you understand the concepts we are discussing.
• The reviews need to be analytic, as opposed to simply descriptive; by "analytic," I mean that the paper should seek to explain or understand something, and not just to describe it. You should watch the movies with a view toward what they can teach you about the course material.
