Kathleen Watson is photographed outside Shands Lake Shore Hospital, where she receives her cancer treatment and also picks up patients for her medical transport company in mid May 2012, in Lake City, Fla. Most uninsured Americans haven't yet seen any benefit from President Barack Obama's health care law, so maybe that's no harm, no foul if the Supreme Court strikes it down. Not so for some 60,000 "uninsurables," patients turned away by health insurance companies due to pre-existing medical problems, but covered under a special program in the law. Among them is Watson, who says the program saved her life, even if she disapproves of the law's big government mandates. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
