One of the overlooked elements in Thursday's decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act is that, beyond the individual mandate and the hysterical politics surrounding it, the act itself is chock-full of innovative ideas and pilot programs and all sorts of other experimental goodness directed toward making easier the lives of people dealing with serious health problems. Like, for example, Alzheimer's Disease.
That's awesome. I've heard about some of the other great things in the ACA (more doctors, better and more general practitioners, poor area outreach, more research), but not that particular program
