Perhaps Michael Weiner-Savage is correct when he says John Roberts having Epilepsy is the reason

he voted to uphold the Affordable Care Act. But for a different reason. Maybe John Roberts understands the importance of people having access to health care given his own condition.

I guess he couldn't bring himself to deny health care to millions of people in need of it because he is in need of it himself.

Roberts had a seizure in the 1990s an one in 2007.

No doctor publicly or even Roberts himself have ever said he has Epilepsy.

The Republicans are grasping at straws.
