The courts will be the government entity that rations healthcare, which means that the hysterical protestations of the Left that Obamacare would not ration healthcare was true.
Note the bioethicist's concern. We can have all those people rushing the court system to carve out their own exceptions to the rule, can we?

Court: girls can buy morning-after pill, for now
Girls of any age can buy generic versions of emergency contraception without a prescription while the federal government appeals a judge’s ruling allowing the sales, according to a ruling Wednesday by a federal appeals court.
The brief order issued by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan permitted two-pill versions of emergency contraception to immediately be sold without restrictions, but the court refused to allow
unrestricted sales of Plan B One-Step until it decides the merits of the government’s appeal. It did not specify why the two-pill versions were being allowed now, though it said the government failed to meet the requirements necessary to block the lower-court decision.

Judge rules in favor of girl who needs lungs
A dying 10-year-old girl can move up the adult waiting list for a lung transplant after a federal judge intervened in her case Wednesday, a move questioned by a renowned medical ethicist.
U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson suspended an age factor in the nation’s transplant rules for 10 days for Sarah Murnaghan because of the severity of her condition.
The girl’s family believes that is enough time to find a match. Sarah has been hospitalized at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for three months with end-stage cystic fibrosis.
“We are beyond thrilled,” Janet Murnaghan, the girl’s mother, told The Associated Press, while adding, “Obviously we still need a match.”
The Newtown Square family filed suit Wednesday to challenge organ transplant rules that say children under age 12 must wait for pediatric lungs to become available, or wait at the end of the adult list, which included adults who aren’t as critically ill.
Nationwide, about 1,700 people are on the waiting list for a lung transplant, including 31 children under age 11, according to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network.
