'I Feel Like I'm Going To Cry'

Thursday, June 28, 2012
The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision to uphold President Barack Obama's health care reform law will surely influence American politics in this November's presidential election and onward. But Dawn Josephson is already feeling the effects.

"I feel like I'm going to cry. I'm so relieved right now," said Josephson, 39, who lives in Jacksonville, Fla. Her 6-year-old son, Wesley, has a pre-existing medical condition that made it impossible for the family to find health insurance for him until the law passed in 2010. "It's so hard when you're a parent and you see your child needs help and you can't even purchase health insurance for them," said Josephson, after learning of the court's ruling from a reporter while getting her hair styled.
